“My first camera was a Kodak 110. Actually it was my father’s, but I probably used it the most in our family. More comfortable behind the camera than in front, I rarely travel without my camera gear, the tools of my art. Mostly self-taught, photography is my escape into a world where light and shadows catch my attention. I love the little click that the shutter on my camera makes. It tells me I have a single moment frozen in time. They say time is fleeting, but I am always in pursuit, spending countless hours to capture just one moment- one perfect moment.” –Palasi
