During the summer of 2012, I was laid off.  Not knowing what to do, I decided to just go home and spent the entire summer with my family.  It was during this time that decided that I did not want to photograph anything and so I put the camera down.  I only took it out when I got into in the mood to photograph.  When I returned to San Jose, I decided to go through the photographs.  Without realizing it, I had picked up the camera and these photographs seemed different.  As I continued to work through my images, I realized that most of my work tends to be very narrative.  There is always a story behind the photograph.
