  Photography is a growing passion of mine that began when I was around Thirteen.
I commandeered the family camera and started my snapshot years, taking pictures of anything that moved-- literally.  It was about that time that the photo bug bit and I was hooked. After buying a professional camera I realized there was a lot more to photography than just point-and-click.
  From there I began to study the technical and artistic aspects of photography and started building a portfolio. As I developed as a photographer, my work started popping up in various newspapers, magazines, and galleries around the USA.
  I was tutored by professional photographers through several internships, then began freelancing taking on various photography projects and selling prints.
 Having a lifelong interest in science, astronomy, and nature brings life and meaning to my images that otherwise would just be ordinary photos.
 I love to roam far out in the 'sticks' searching for the perfect shot, once I find it, I
 make many visits to see the way seasons bring new character, life, and meaning to it. Patience and perspiration will eventually pay off and the 'keeper' shot will be born. The images I create have a story to tell, and now that I've told mine, I'll let them speak for themselves.
 I currently live in Tucson, Arizona with my wonderful wife, pet parakeet and lots of camera gear.
