STATEMENT
I’ve loved photography since very young, growing up in the Dominican Republic it was the only way for me to remember what my sister and mother looked like since they had moved to New York City when I was little. Then growing up in The Bronx, NY, I always loved to see pictures from the early 20th century. I love the idea of freezing a moment in time, just the way it was. This is my goal each time I take a photo.
