Biography:
I am a PhD student at Middle Tennessee State University with a BA and MA in English (short fiction creative writing) from Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. My emphasis area concerns children's literature and the modern horror film.

I picked up the camera in order to rejuvenate my creative energy when it was being drained out of me while writing my master's thesis, oddly enough in creative writing. It was a new way for me to channel creativity that had been altered by formal education. I know that children stories, horror films, and photography seem like an unbalanced match of elements but they are all quite connected. The body is central to all of those fields, unmasking the fear and fascination with it in particular. At a base level, we are all but bodies in motion, coming into contact with pleasures, danger, and much more, but in general I try to keep horror films and children's literature for my PhD and photography separate.

I'm fascinated by life every wakin
