Memo / Artist Statement
Since about ten years old I have been shooting camera just for fun, not thinking of anything, when I look back at those pictures I took twenty years ago they bring great memories, not so great memories too. My family would bring a camera most of the time when we go out on the land, I would take pictures mainly of wildlife and the scenery.

Although I took photography and cinematography in junior high school, I didn’t gain much interest in it until I became an adult and realized I live in such a beautiful land and beautiful animals and knew a little bit about photography so I tried to take my camera with me almost everywhere I went. Shot as much as I can, I spend a lot of my time outdoors during spring and summer because of my responsibilities. Trying to take pictures as much as I can, whenever I go back to these pictures they are sometimes even nicer at times, and realize how rich a life it is just to live on this mother earth and become even more proud of where I come from. Sometimes photography can explain about who I am and what I see to other people better than my own words. Being proud of who we are, where we come from will teach the next generation and beyond about who they are, grow even stronger and those simple photos will play a big part in it.
