Gramercy Arts

Gramercy is the street where I grew up as a child and was the central location where my friends and I created nonsense photo and video productions. As time passed, I ventured into the US Navy, became a Hospital Corpsman, fought bad guys, and applied advanced Bandaids to those in need. With a slew of experience serving and deploying worldwide, I drifted away from my love of photography and spent much time hustling with guns and super bandaids.

I incorporated photography into my life when I managed my time more efficiently. It became therapeutic.

Also, I began to collaborate with other talents and hosted workshops to facilitate introductory photography lessons, and within months, I had a cadre of shutterbug nerds. When I saw how these young photographers evolved, I felt fulfilled.

As a parent of two athletes competing in youth sports, I've been exposed to various expensive photography services that produced bland images. The quality of the pictures, composition, and creativity did not match the cost of the service.

I began taking pictures of my kids and then my friends and family. I have volunteered my services to support military events and community volunteer events. I experimented with the techniques and assisted in photo shoots in exchange for knowledge.

In this present time, I fell back in love with this art, and mysteriously, it helped me cope with my PTSD, gifted to me by our fun-loving Taliban friends who seem to enjoy their relationship with the American Infadels.

I decided to make this gig a business and keep the cost reasonable to be accessible to more folks. I am a humanitarian and love our country and those service members and families who contributed to our national defense.

Gold Star families and families with immediate members diagnosed with terminal illnesses will get free family sessions from me. These free sessions are a token of gratitude for their resiliency, strength, and dedication to each other to break through this chapter of their lives and move forward as one unto the next phase of their journey.

Let’s get together and see how we can make your vision into reality.

VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME TO HELP A CAUSE

Get out of the house and grab a buddy or two and help out your local non-profits organizations such as your Veterans’ Center, Community Food Kitchens or Pet Rescues. Humble yourselves and your children with volunteer time and teach the next generation how to make a difference in their community and learn the importance of kindness and humanity.
