dris' photostream  

Since graduating college with a Physics degree, I've spent time as a wildland firefighter, a State Department diplomat, an adventure trip leader, and an Asia-traveling backpacker. While that sounds more like the resume of a schizophrenic than a photographer, it's my sense of adventure that's the common thread.

That same sense of adventure is one of the two things that drives me to search out new things to capture through my camera lens. The other is my belief that a major problem facing the world today is an empathy deficit. I think photography can help decrease the deficit by allowing viewers to connect with subjects, and I want to be part of that.

I shoot in a documentary style, and I'd love to help tell a story for you, your organization, your cause, or your event. I also provide freelance digital tech, digital retouching and digital asset management services to photographers. I'm a photographer who understands tech, or a techie who understands photography. Get in touch if I can help you bridge the gap from film to digital.
