PETER N KARALEKAS

Born and raised in Astoria, Queens, in New York City. Being of Greek descent, I was exposed to a great family, hard work ethics and the determination to succeed. Attended all public schools in Astoria-Long Island City in New York City and attended college in Southern California... Baseball growing up was my first true passion. Played in high school, college, was scouted, and had workouts with the New York Yankees, where my baseball days sorrowfully ended because of a shoulder injury... My sincerest passions are, watching and observing life as it unfolds in its many complicated ways. As a boy, I've loved photography, the dream and desire has never left me. While Photography has not been my profession, it always been my passion.
