I didn't set out to be a photographer. . .

It just kind of happened. I have developed my skills because the people around me, My initial training in photography came from my Grandfather, and my uncles They taught me the basics of photography. I did admire the man a great deal, or it could be that my mother was an artist. . . I couldn't tell you why for sure.

What I can tell you is that I really love what I do and I spend a lot of time refining, perfecting and even obsessing over my work. . . It is a passion.

I have spent a lot of time reflecting on things such as what is my "style" of photography. Style comes with time and is a difficult thing to force. I think more important than style is being aware of the literal nature of the image I see and striving to go beyond that in an aesthetic sense to create a captivating image.

"Capturing Life's Moments"

There are special episodes in our lives we relish going back on, fleeting moments we preserve in memory. In an effort to share and relive, we choose to remember and celebrate love, beauty, life. Those with the gift of words might chronicle those passages on paper; but for the most part, we’d tirelessly echo our tales in simple retellings, serving our stories for as long as the details are fresh.

But, imagine if you could draw from something more reliable than recall or expression. Wouldn’t it be magical to leaf through your moments in full color at the end of the day? Wouldn’t you enjoy literally sitting back and simply clicking Rewind to walkthrough your own life — with nothing lost in translation? Well, it’s all possible and you’ve come to the right place!
