For a couple years now I have been trying to self teach myself the art of photography. I love the capturing of a moment, a snippet of time or emotion, the way a photograph can deliver a whole conversation without ever saying a word. While I feel I have learned a lot, I know I have a lot of ground yet to cover in my journey and I look forward to each new stage of understanding. Constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged.
I was born in Kansas, raised in Idaho (from 4+ on), but currently living/shooting from the San Francisco East Bay Area. I shoot mostly nature, landscape and pets for now, but would love to do more portrait photography now that I have most of the off camera lighting gear needed.
Due to individuals not respecting how to use creative commons, I have removed creative commons licenses from all of my photographs and will watermark all future uploads. If you would like to use any of my photos, please contact me via flickr mail.
