My latest article now is called “My Summer Soundtrack (As Years Pass By)”. I’m going to be talking my summer throughout the years, my favorite photographs I’ve taken including the best times I had so far.

So let’s start 2003. My 8 Year old self took a selfie on the W Train and the funny thing was the word selfie wasn’t even a though yet back then.

Fast forward to 2008 now. Even I started taking some pictures in 2006, I never got into that much until 2008 when majority of my photos was train photos. I still remember being in Middle School going to the YMCA Afterschool Program but never thought photography could be for me. Here’s a photo during the time I got my mom to go to Brighton Beach with me for some photos

And other one of my favorite photos I took in 2008

In summer of 2009 my mom and I went to the Transit Museum Event touring 207th Street yard. I remember how rainy and wet it was outside and despite the bad weather, it was worth attending. Here’s a photo at the event I took

2010 was kinda an interesting summer as a few major changes happen

I got my first DSLR (Nikon D40x)

The V And W Trains were eliminated due to budget cuts

I graduated 8th Grade

Here’s the photo after I rode the last W Train with a few railfans

And few other photos that happened that summer as well

Summer 2011 I started hanging outside alot more and I started to somewhat get into digital photography more than before.

2012 I met a girl named Krystal Pinto who has an amazing tattoo and she let me took photos of it.

As for the subway, a few weird stuff has happened. R32s and R42s running on the A Line making a little more than have the fleet and R46s ran on the C.

Also my first time going to the new Yankees Stadium so here’s a photo I took of the field.

And more 2012 photographs that made my summer highlight that year

2013 Summer was my last summer vacation before I started my senior year at High School but in another school. Let’s start with the Mermaid Day Parade I went to photographing mermaids and such.

And then R32 Subway Cars started to finally run on the J for the first time in many years

Then here’s the Cory Monteith tribute party at Central Park

And the first time since 2008 I took a trip to the Aquarium to photograph all of the cool sea creatures.

And other photos from that summer

My next one is 2014 the year I graduated High School and started to market my photography out there. I did my first model photoshoot with Dani Bre and she awesome. Make sure to check out her portfolio too

Then a couple days after the photoshoot I met Christa Brown and Tori Leeds visiting NYC from Florida. They let me take their photo and to make things more awesome they shared the photo thanking me for taking the photo

Also got some Fourth Of July fireworks at the East River

I finally took a picture of my favorite YouTube singer Danielle Calato after coming from auditioning for The Voice. She has an awesome voice but didn’t make it

She even took a selfie with me lol

New York Fashion Week also occurred right before summer ended

My other Summer 2014 photos I took

And now…2015 summer. Even though its still going on, a few things has happened.

First I finally got into the backstage to get photos of the Mermaid Day Parade performers before the parade started.

June was also the month I met and talked to people about my photography

I also pulled an all niter taking pictures all night that cost me my sleep (I didn’t sleep for 40 hours lol)

Hungout with a photographer named Danielle Salah. She’s an awesome photographer

This is the spot we took photos at

Did my first Night photoshoot in July with a model (Not my first photoshoot in general though)

And the rest of the photos to end the article
