Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I grew up building custom furniture with my father. I've built sets and costumes, designed animatronics, worked as a graphic artist and designed trade show exhibits. With degrees in fine art and theater design, I'm sort of a jack of all trades when it comes to visual imagery. I'm equally competent with a paint brush, table saw, plasma torch or a graphics tablet and now I just do what I enjoy... which is perfect for a guy who is long on skills and short on attention span.

"I do believe this may be long overdue; however, I've been practicing on short and sweet. After all, following a tour through Michael's photography one can't help but wax poetic about ethreal models, sublime locations and small slices of the moments in life we all remember and only hope to capture in as a elegant a manner.
The colors here are brilliant and the b&w, evocative. From landscapes, to people, to shop wares, Michael captures the essense of photography by transporting the viewer directly into the image. I would encourage anyone to stop in, peek around and soak up the atmosphere. I know I will continue to do so."1st January, 2012

".avina. is a very strong photographer across a broad range of styles. His compositions are inspirational like his “6/365 – Blue” photo that was uploaded as part of his 2010, 365 project. Simply amazing art.
A photostream well worth watching"11th January, 2010
