About

Photography is all about telling stories, capturing memories, and sharing experiences. I have always been curious of and fascinated by the world around me and all that it has to offer. Photography allows me to more deeply explore that world and lock in special moments to enjoy and to share.

My photographic journey began in college when, knowing very little about "real" photography, I applied for, and got, a summer job as a photographer for a non-profit after convincing them I had the necessary experience (I had previously done a snapshot here and there using a point and shoot camera). After a crash course at a camera shop, I showed up at work the following Monday and went out on assignment. It was my first time ever using a 35mm camera. I was excited that my images turned out to be quite good and that they told the story that enabled the organization to get additional funding. Shortly thereafter, I bought my own 35mm camera and began my personal journey into the wonderful, ever-exciting world of photography.

Digital technology has created opportunities to take photography to new levels. I still prefer shooting much as I did pre-digital, but I appreciate the added assistance when I need it.  Technology also allows me to take photography a little further at times with photo composites, as well as allowing me to paint and do collage art without needing to have studio space. Being able to create anytime and anywhere is magnificent.
