Travel is where I discovered my passion for photography. It started when I was able to get my first digital camera way back in 2000, but it really blossomed when I was in England. I discovered the world of Canon. With a little encouragement, some reading, and the motivation of all the stuff around me, I started taking a lot of pictures. Each year has gotten me to take successively more and more photos. I work very hard to take as many good photos as I can. It is a learned skill for me, as I did not just explode into the world as a gifted artist. Thankfully with a little guidance and a lot of study I have not only started taking a higher percentage of keepers, but also understanding what went wrong in the ones I didn't like. The internet has been a wonderful tool for both inspiration and criticism to help me move my art forward.

In the last couple of years I have started migrating more into working with people. I have done several photo shoots that have allowed me to start building a more people-oriented portfolio. Hopefully moving forward I will have more time to dedicate to my artwork. I also have new inspiration and an appreciation for saving my memories. I shoot with a number of different cameras, and I recently switched back to Windows after a year of using a Macbook Pro.

2012 should be fun, there are a lot of good opportunities to look forward to. I keep adding beautiful new models to my household so I am taking more pictures than ever.

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I hope you enjoy my work.
