With some hard work and practice, I was lucky to have been able to earn a living as a professional drummer for a good run. I now own and operate a small restaurant in Portland, Oregon. Besides music, I have been attracted to the arts all my life. I've enjoyed writing, theatre and dance.
For over 15 years, I have been shooting photographs. Back in the film days, I would wander around in the city looking for good "people shots." I've taken various promo shots for bands, including those that I've been a member of with the aid of a self timer.

I later spent time working in the publishing field where I learned how to shoot print ad for local retailers. My biggest accomplishment as a photographer was selling some of my framed prints in a few art galleries and taken a photo of a local singer/songwriter who went on to enjoy success with 3 albums.

Like writing a catchy tune, I simply enjoy the art of finding that great shot. These days, armed with a Nikon SLR and some decent lens, I'm beginning to concentrate on learning how the camera operates and how to get the most from ISO, lighting, shutter speeds, etc.
