BEHINDTHE LENS
I'm good at what I do, because I love what I do.
I bought my first camera, the Pentax K1000, in 1978 out of the back of a Photography magazine. My father and I spent hours shooting black and white film, developing it, and printing out images in a bathroom turned darkroom. He taught me life lessons, WWII History, and a love of all things photographic.
Over the next four decades, I have used 35mm film, medium-format film, and digital. I have used SLR, DSLR, Point & Shoot, Cell Phones, Pinhole, and Polaroid cameras.
I've shot weddings, high-school seniors, architecture, landscapes, sporting events, families, maternity, corporate headshots, aspiring actors/models, food, fashion, lifestyle, and product catalogues.
I love creating images.
It’s hard to shed
an ugly-duckling self-image,
but your photos give me,
A DIFFERENT ME
to look at. They give me a presence.
