Bio

I see life as dynamic and transient.  Innumerable variables creating distinct, original experiences and scenes.  My interest usually lies in capturing the fleeting apex of that moment.  An immeasurably short period of time immortalized in one frame that can somehow describe a whole scene, action, or emotion.  I love the unexpected surprises and details that reveal themselves in a print.  I love making an image that can feel quiet and still and likewise, love to make LOUDness come out of a page full of color. 

I borrowed my father’s camera when I was 15 years old and never gave it back.  I’ve been exploring various themes and subjects ever since, taking advantage of different subjects as they have presented themselves to me over the years.   My cameras have evolved with time as well; and although I still love the inherent mystery, challenge, and reward of traditional film, I now shoot with a digital SLR camera.

My professional experience has varied to include lifestyle, product, action sports, scientific documentation, award ceremonies, weddings, landscape, portraits, and travel.  I am currently available for weddings and special events.

Please enjoy a few of my favorite moments.
