Thank you to The Wave and Kerry Murtha for the interview and writing this article about me and my photography. I have been living here in the Rockaways for 10 years now and I love this place. It has a rich mixture of settings and backgrounds for photography. Sometimes you can spot me walking around town capturing the essence of the Rockaways. You can also see the full digital article Kerry wrote here Wavemakers 185.
