A Brief Interview...
How did Natural Selection come about?
I got my first camera when I was in junior college. Around this time I started to blog. I was very fond of writing and having a camera at hand complimented the whole blogging thing. Eventually, I found myself spending more time working on photographs than writing. Since then photography has become a part of my life.
What inspires you to take photographs?
For now, self-fulfilment. I'm a complicated person, so I try to put a smile on my face with photography. Oh, and people like Tony Rath, he's bad-ass.
How would you describe your style?
Natural, simplistic, anything but artistic.
