“When I grow up, I want to be a star, I want to be famous, want to see the world...But be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it" (Pussycat Dolls). At a young age I was determined to be a Power-Ranger, wanting to save the world from every bad thing alive thinking that was what I was put on this earth to do. When we are first born are parents look at us and see the cycle being broken, but for some children their parents only see the never-ending cycle of ongoing death, crime and pain. Most children grow up wanting to be doctors, lawyers, chefs, writers, president, or famous. But the reality sometimes is that not everyone will be famous, and I want to show the reality of that truth. By showing this truth I want to photograph young children as what their loving parents want them to be which is the better and the best of this world. To the contrary, I will photograph these young children as what the world [society] plans for them to be. For example drug dealers, criminals in and out of jail, prostitutes etc. I want to show children in a grown-up world.

I want to capture every moment from the climax to the lowest level of pain and hate. By using black backdrops I would accent the emotions in the face rather than focusing on the whole subject on a larger scale. With this whole collection of photo’s I want to evoke emotions of I’m glad that’s not me, and forgiveness. When looking at these images I want the viewer to look back over their lives and maybe make an adjustment, not feeling empathy but feeling more sensibly.
