  • Artist's Statement

    I'm no pro photographer by any means.  I try to pay attention to my composition and the light.  The light.  Always the light.  If the light is bad, I'm wasting precious memory card space and valuable time.

  • Camera Equipment

    Fuji Finepix S602z
    Wide Angle Lens
    Handfull of filters

  • Favorite Photographers

    Each and every one of you (awwwww ;-)

    But seriously?  I like photography that takes me out of my day to day reality and places me into a different time, place & setting.  Like a good movie, good photography,should make me forget I ame looking at a photograph.  It should move me, challenge me, and make me think.

    One of my favorites is Troy Paiva, whom this website was lucky enough to have an interview with
