Hi, I'm Mario! I love photography and shoot for personal and fun. 

Photography started as a hobby and quickly became a passion. I came to realize this when my grandmother passed, and all I had were her photos to remember and tell her story. It's now my way of telling stories and connecting with the world around me. Each photo is a piece of that journey, a piece of history.

I'm the photographer of the images on this site. I've been living in Houston for the past 14 years, and it's where my love for photography has truly evolved. Armed with either a camera, many times just my phone, I capture moments that resonate.

I enjoy all styles of photography, but there's something special about candid shots and street scenes. Graffiti-covered walls, spontaneous moments, the everyday hustle—these are the things that catch my eye. 

 For me, it's not about the gear. Nikon, Canon, Kodak, DLSR, Mirrorless, Film, Cell Phone—it doesn't matter. They all show visuals, and to me, that's all that matters. I shoot in JPEG and embrace the imperfections. I'm more of a shoot-and-go kind of photographer. I try to capture my shot the first time as is. I also try to edit as little as possible, just a personal preference of mine. It's about the story each photo tells, not about achieving perfection. I'm not the best photographer, nor do I care to be. 

This isn't a job for me; it's a passion I have had since I was a kid. It's about communication. I do it for the love of capturing life's moments and sharing them with others.
