Baltimore native...Chicago bred and educated...New York state of mind (and present location :)).

Member, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Former Web Developer/Software Developer during the day. Now full-time photographer. Continual music hound, writer.

Learning and practicing the fine art of photography, and loving every minute! I seem to gravitate to the colorful, and contrast-y subjects, but I'll shoot anything that catches my eye.

I prefer Canon equipment because I like the quality of image I get from their bodies, I think their glass is superior, and I feel I know their products. Plus, the "L" glass makes my crappy shooting skills look better...It looks like great crap as opposed to mediocre crap. There is something to be said for that...:-D
