First and foremost, I'd like to thank you for visiting my site. Please take a good look around. There's a lot to see. If you see something you like, feel free to let me know. "Pin it", "Like It" or even email me .
I've been involved in photography for most of my life. I remember as a kid, I was always fascinated with cameras. Unfortunately they either didn't work or were the 110 film variety. The ones I liked were the ones in the magazines that the "Pros" used. The one person that I always remembered having a camera out, was my grandfather. I guess that was the start of it then. I always saw him with it at some point. I liked that.
Along with other influences, were the countless auto magazines I used to own. I would go through those back to front and back again. I had a mile high collection of car brochures as well. I guess the imagery has just stuck in my head. It was a ritual to spend every weekend riding my bike past a car dealer to check out the latest and greatest rides.
I picked up my first real camera as a teenager and have had the photo bug ever since. There was a time that I actually walked away from it. That was the transition from film to digital. That lasted until I could wrap my head around this wonderful technology that was to come our way. It opened up a whole new realm of possibilities that I only dreamed of. I don't believe there is a day that goes by that I don't take a photograph or at least have my camera with me. That is really cool. To be able to create something and to share it with the world, is quite simply, amazing. I thought you had to work for National Geographic to reach as many people back then as you can today by only a simple click of a mouse or your phone. Probably more.
Ask anyone that knows me, they will instantly tell you how passionate I am about photography. I am very happy with that. What makes me happier is the great responses I get from my work. Ultimately I shoot for myself. If it makes me happy then, great. If others like it too? Excellent.
So once again, thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your stay.
