Michael Gilbert Lopez
My name is Michael Gilbert Lopez.
I took a photo class in high school and failed it.
I never dreamed that one day I would make a living by photographing people.
I believe that each of us has the potential to reach greatness.
I know why I am on this earth.
I love music. From Jazz, Funk, R&B, Soul, Hip Hop, and Electronic, you will hear me playing it somewhere around me.
I love my friends.
I love my wife.
I love my children.
I miss my mom.
I love my sister.
I want you to be better.
I want you to be your best.
I love light.
I love capturing moments of life.
I love basketball.
I had great mentors.
I had a mom who would take me to Thrifty’s Photo Studio as a kid and have photos taken of me after playing in the dirt.
I had a mom who would blow those photos up to 11x14 or 16x20.
I had a mom who taught me to love myself through photos.
I wish I still had my mom here on this earth.
I love you.
I care about you.
I hope we get to work together.
My name is Michael Gilbert Lopez.
