<– That’s me. My life has been spent studying and creating images. I’m all about acknowledging the subtle moments in life that move us from one emotion to the next. I believe images do that to us, or for us. “A photo is worth a thousand words.” That saying was coined back when it was hard to make the image, let alone share it. A good image is still hard to come by but once we get it we pass it out with ease. Today’s motto might be more like, “A thousand images, and we still can’t say what we need to say.”

I present myself to you as a professional in my trade. You may have run into a “professional” once or twice, because there are many out there. To me it means clear communication, fairness and relationships. I consider myself a craftsman; obsessive and aware of the image media and how it speaks to us. I also feel that each artist is responsible for what he or she contributes to the visual environment and I take that seriously, but I have fun doing it.
