Beginning with nature and nocturnal photography I taught myself photography many years ago after inheriting a close friends Pentax K1000 after he passed away. My skills were honed shooting wildlife in the lonely freedom of the wilderness however, in past number of years I have expanded my horizons; shooting in urban areas, concerts, macro objects, light painting, and other assignments I have invented to broaden my abilities. In particular I have found great joy and fulfillment shooting conceptual art pieces using models and shooting portraits, weddings, special events, etc.
I hope you take as much joy in viewing my work as I did in shooting it.
