Coreys work is absolutely incredible. I have been following the recent works and you can see such and amazing difference and growth in talents since he first started photography at age 15. Corey also has an amazing outlook on life and I have found that on his myspace page that he reaches out to so many people that need a friend to talk to. Corey takes to time to mentor youth and show that happiness is possible even if you think you have a rough life. I can't wait to see what the future brings for Corey and would love to see more beautiful photographs.
