Creative Corner: Analog Photography

I have been shooting film for a couple years now, and you can find examples of my photos on my Instagram account. This photo of UCLA's Royce Hall was taken during the golden hour of a beautiful LA day with a 35mm camera.

Creative Corner: Digital Photography

I also feature my digital photos on my Instagram account! This particular picture was taken at the stunning Hakone Gardens in Saratoga, CA, on a Sony Alpha 7ii.
