Paul’s Story

Ever since Paul’s cousin gave him a Yashica FX-3 camera from Germany in the late 80′s, Paul has been a student of photography. Nowadays in the digital world where anyone can just pick up a camera and shoot, Paul separates himself from the pack from having over 2 decades of formal courses/training and good ol’ fashion street trial and error. “Everyone can take a picture but not everyone is a photographer.”, Paul states.  Paul enjoys focusing on human emotions so the viewer can feel the energy of that moment. Paul is presently working on a few photo projects right now, but is still doing street photography constantly to hone his skills in the “you can never shoot enough” world of photography.
