What do you do when you go to sleep
thinking about photography? What do
you do when you wake up thinking
about photography? You become a
photographer; at least that's what I've
done!
From an early age, I usually had a
camera with me and I was encouraged
to take pictures by my parents and
family. However, in high school, other
artistic pursuits took precedence and I
missed out on doing the photographic
activities. My school limited you to either
visual or musical arts. While I wish I
could have done both, i really enjoyed
my musical pursuits as eventual first cello
in the orchestra and singing bass in the
chorus. It wasn't until much later in life,
that photography and I came back
together.

Since my rediscovery and subsequent obsession with photography, I have done
portraiture, weddings and editorial work. During my second tenure in New
Orleans starting in January of 2002, I worked as a photographer for The Whiz
Magazine, additionally I provided imaging services for many of the local
performers. After losing our apartment in hurricane Katrina, my partner and I
made our way back to Phoenix. We started over and seldom think about the
horrible tragedy that so drastically changed our lives. We have made a new
home for our family and my photography.
I have been concentrating on landscapes and fine art images. I still do
occasional portraiture, both studio sessions and lifestyle candids. I have tried to
pursue as many different opportunities for my photography as I have been able
to. I have also donated my time and skills to the Imperial Court of Arizona, a
wonderful organization raising funds for many diverse community charities, and
currently, I am collaborating on a future fund raiser for the One Voice
community center.
