I was always surrounded by Art in museums, films and festivals in Louisiana. I moved up north to Boston to focus digital art. Photography was a beautiful accident. My younger brother invited me to his friends birthday party to get me out of the house, as I was very introverted at the time. So I pondered around in hopes that someone would come over and talk to me. That never happened, so I started to look around to try and occupy myself during the party. Out the corner of my eye there was a Canon rebel not being used at the time. So I went to pick it up just to play around, and the moment I picked up the camera, everything made sense. Everything in my life begin to connect. It was truly the most wonderful feeling. So now here I am, a once introverted kid who inspires others to find their passions. ” says photographer Mark Elzey.
