A note from the Artist

          Every since my childhood I was fascinated with photography.  It was probably aided by my Dad always taking pictures and movies of us and developed his own black and white photos.  I remember being able to pick out my own Christmas present when I was about 12 and I chose a little point and shoot camera.  A few years later, I got a Swinger instamatic camera.  That was quite the technology in those days!
          It wasn't until about 1981 that I finally got my first SLR---a Canon AE1.   Using mostly manual settings, I began learning how to manipulate the outcome of photos.  Finally, in 1996, I applied for a job as a candid photographer for Prestige Portraits, a division of Lifetouch Photography.  18 years later, I'm still working for Lifetouch.  During that time, I became a high school sports photographer, all activities photographer, and a sports pack photographer.  With that I learned to use Nikon SLRs, Bogan lights with big heavy battery packs, light meters, tri-pods, Bronica medium format cameras, and eventually DSLRs.  I also bought my own Bronica and then a DSLR when the Canon 10D came out.  Since then I've also had the 20D, 30D, and 60D.
          Friends and family started asking me to take their wedding and family pictures---then their friends started asking me.  I finally decided it was time to get some sort of website online. 

          I hope you enjoy!
