I'm a self-taught photographer with 15 years experience as a graphic designer. I've recently changed career focus to broadcast journalism. This new career has proven to be more challenging than I could have ever imagined. I'm a perfectionist by fault, which leads me to become a workaholic, which means i have no free time or am sleeping when i do....but i'm learning about boundaries, and am finding more time for my camera and a renewed love of photography.

Because of my graphic designer background, i have a tendancy to think, "i can fix this in photoshop", while i'm taking a photo...i'm trying to break that habit, but that's proven difficult for me, especially with the RAW format. To help with this "learning process", i keep my film cameras handy. I love the dark-room experience, but i'm too lazy to then scan in the negatives and work them from there. So i process and print the image, and if it can't be fixed in the dark-room, it doesn't get fixed. This keeps me honest. LOL.

I love learning about people, and telling their stories through photography. I aspire to become a photojournalist one day...my third career maybe.

Please feel free to leave constructive criticism for any of my photos.
