STATEMENT
My goal is to create a photograph every time I put the camera in my hands.

PROFILE
I’m a freelance published photographer with more than 4 years of experience and over 185 photo credits, emphasizing music, people, landscapes, travel, sports, and nudes.  I’m skilled in Photoshop and other photographic and non-photographic computer program applications.  I maintain a strong outside the box thinking combined with a solid work ethic, with particular attention paid to completion of assignments and meeting deadlines.  I’m highly self reliant and adaptive to changes, and comfortable working alone or with others.
