Time to spread my wings!

I've been taking pictures since March 2010 and I can see myself doing this for the rest of my life. Never has a medium so completely captured my mind, my eyes, and above all, my heart. My only regret is in not taking up photography years ago. I must now make up for lost time.

I've had a couple of professional shoots, but my goal is to find the beautiful in life, especially if I can find it in places where people don't ordinarily think to look. Times are hard enough without taking the occasional break to celebrate the beauty of God's creation.

I am rarely happier then when I hold a camera in my hands. I am passionate to learn and enjoy looking at the work of my Flickr friends and associates.

I also love contacts. However, if you are going to list me as a contact, please do me the honor and courtesy of communicating from time to time. I will make every effort to do the same.

Thank you for viewing my photostream!

    "Jeff's shots are not only pictures, they are stories told with depth, wisdom and irony that serves to emphasize the meaning of life.

    Jeff's images speak for themselves, outstanding work. What really stands out about them is the level of energy he puts into what he shoots. I also think that he is a huge encouragement to the Flickr community by being so vibrant and constant in contributing and encouraging, and inspiring to others.( Including inspiring me).. I love to see the development of his stream, because he is continually improving on his skills.

    He has a fantastic eye and great technique and his images are very awe inspiring. I am so privileged to call him a friend."

    "It's been a real pleasure knowing Jeff! His love for life around him is portrayed in his photography. We've only been flickr friends for a few months but already I feel as if I've known Jeff for ages! Thank you so much Jeff for all your comments and support when I was going through a rough patch with my illness. A true friend for life!!"
