About the artist:
I am a transplant to the Seattle area. While I work mainly as a videographer, I believe photography is the base for doing anything worthwhile with video. I am still finding my voice as an artist. As they say, a picture says a thousand words, so I will let my photos speak for themselves. 

About this work:
Seattle’s International District is a neighborhood of life. Young lives, old live, new ways and old ways all converge in the streets and alleys of the I.D. You can meander for hours, and even through streets of boarded up shops, the life still peeks through. The whole area is tied together by one simple theme- Red. 

Red. An idea strength, good luck and happiness, flows through out every corner, even to the people. It represents more than just a festive time, it represents the hearts of thousands. It does not belong to one group or one idea- it is representative of everything. And it was found everywhere. I visited the neighborhood to try to find a story, and the story found me.
