Your Bio

Photography has been a life long passion for me, starting when I was eighteen, over thirty years ago, when I got my first SLR just prior to driving across the country with my family. We spent three weeks on the road, going to places like the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, the Badlands and more. I was hooked!

I still love nature photography, but my true love is capturing people in perfect moments, in the studio, out in nature, and especially at celebrations, on the street, or other candid situations.

Recently I have gone back to film photography, shooting black & white and developing and printing in the darkroom. I love the universe of tonalities that opens up with black & white photography, and the visceral pleasure and increased control of doing my own printing. It has also made my digital color work much richer, as well.
