I am Ryan Thomas Young, and each time I close the shutter, I gain a new perspective into what it means to give a part of yourself into every photo you take. It's my goal to not simply mold my subject into an object worthwhile to photograph, but even more importantly, to shape my view of it into an outlook that demands preservation. A photo can speak from one heart to another, and while I can't promise that my photos will speak TO your heart, I can promise that they'll speak FROM my own.
