All things

My inspiration derives from my grandmother and great aunts, to growing up on the Northside of Tulsa,Ok.  

Spike Lee,Dick Gregory, Barry Jenkins, Kahil Joseph, James Laxton and Gordon Parks are also inspiration components that have guided me in my love to photography, directing and film.
