About Me

My dad gave me my first camera as a birthday present in fourth grade- a Kodak 110 instamatic. It opened a new world for me, and I looked around me composing pictures from everyday scenes. I can still remember several of my favorite photos from that time.  Dad was my first inspiration as he had a professional Nikon camera and several of his gallery-quality images hung around our house. I just wanted to be as good a photographer as he was.

In high school, I began working at local photog haven Walnut House Films where I soaked up all I could from the experience – from choosing the right lens to darkroom processing. I also bought my first new professional camera.

The advent of high-quality digital photography has renewed my love for the art, because I can try to bring to print what is in my minds eye. I find beauty in so many places – from the vast wilds of Alaska, to the rugged textures in the Tetons, and from the energy of the young to the depth of the oldest faces.
