My parents introduced me to photography when they gave me a Kodak Brownie box camera when I was a young child. I was so excited when I got my first photographs back and saw the images I had captured!

Over the years, I have been intrigued by the differences between how the camera sees a scene and how I perceived it. I became even more entranced with photography when I started working in the darkroom and could see the image forming on the paper while it was in the developing tray.

I have spent many hours learning to see how the camera sees, primarily with landscape photography. Although I have had little formal training in photography, I have studied the works of many photographers and artists over the years. I am still learning as time passes and will undoubtedly remain a student of this fascinating medium.

Over the past few years, I have become fascinated with people, their faces, and their living spaces. My goal is to capture a bit of their personality, either through their expressions or their environment.

I am changing my focus and am seldom interested in commercial projects at this time. I am concentrating on personal projects for the foreseeable future.

That said - please contact me with your project / concept. If the project is interesting to me, I may be willing to work with you.
