the professional photography blog

I am a male variation of the species who enjoys all things involving creating. I have been been at various times and in most cases continue to be a musician, singer, writer, photographer, painter, pencilist, sculptor, filmish person and designer. Essentially if it's creative it's had my attention at one time or another.

I am a professional Fine Art/Wedding photographer based out of Nashville TN and Chicago.

I have lived many places in this country, but have only traveled outside it once. I am working on fixing that at some point in the future. I enjoy bold exploits and times of repose in equal measure. I adore a good red wine and being pretentious about music that I love.

Right now my camera gear is comprised of:

Canon Gear:
-Canon 40d SLR
-Canon EOS Rebel K2 film SLR
-Canon A85 digital wunder-toy (this doesn't see as much action these days)
