Well, I'm a husband to a wonderful woman, daddy to an angel of a little girl and a cute little boy, a full time software engineer, and a die hard amatuer photographer with a part time portrait business (that's currently on hold). I really enjoy photographing landscapes, children, and whatever catches my eye. I love hearing what people think about my photos, so feel free to leave comments about what you like or don't like. Also, as much as I love feedback and positive comments, please refrain from posting those big pictures and animations of trophies, stars, or whatever. I don't mind a text invite to post a photo to a group, but those loud advertisments for groups will just be deleted. Thanks.

    "Randy's photostream is full of gorgeous pictures bursting with color, light and beautiful bokeh. He has such a vision and is able to create works of art while recording his children in such a personal loving way. He is also an all round good guy and I am glad to be his friend."

    "Randy is one of the nicest, sweetest, most humble guys I've ever met- and has talent to match.

    I am honored to say I have had the pleasure of being photographed by Randy. The maternity images he created for me were stunning works of art. Thank you, Randy!"

    "Yea!..I am the first to write you a testimony! Randy is a great member of the flickr community. He is quick to share all his knowledge..esp. with lighting. His family is GORGEOUS and he has an amazing ability to capture emotion in his photographs. (and he has a son named Andrew too...so that just makes him cool!)"
