My love of photography started in 10th grade. We couldn't afford a camera, so one of my buddies gave me his old Canon AE1. I still own that camera and love her to death. As long as I treat her with the dignity she deserves, she still takes the best bw images! Today my tool of choice is a Canon 5D.

Recently my portfolio has taken a bit of a right turn... down a path full of craggy twists and turns... and I LOVE it! I've never enjoyed being "predictable" and even as I get older and wiser, I still find myself breaking out of the boxes I tend to develop around my creative self. Yesterday someone asked me what my passion is... and I couldn't put the answer to words. I told them to look at my photostream. My passion is... PASSION! I want to always feel and be passionate about everything I do, see, read, watch, touch and learn.

New Favorite Quote: Great Photography is 90% Creative and only 10% Technique!

What is photography? I can't tell you exactly. I know that the work I'm drawn to is emotional, vibrant, and hits those sweet spots deep in my subconscious. I know that the camera is just a tool (like the computer, tripod, car used to get to a remote location, etc) utilized in attempting to make our deep and sometimes dark inner vision "public". Every photo should yank, pull or tease some emotion from the viewer as well as the creator. When my creations stop being emotional and coming from the heart... then I hope someone is kind enough to wake me up from whatever fog I may have drifted into! Photography should dance in your mind and take you on a wild trip through wonderland. If it doesn't do this, then it's lost its purpose and you're better off just reading the newspaper!

Recently my career has taken a dramatic right turn and I find myself rarely having time to doing any shooting with my camera. I'm traveling all over the country, though, so am stockpiling ideas of places to go someday during some down time... whatever that may be. lol.

Enjoy!
