About Me

..

NEED PHOTOS???
If you need any photography digital or print and I happen to be in your area, let me know. I will do the photography and retouch them so that you may look just as pretty as a tulip, but more dangerous. :)
All the best,
Jean-Martin

My name is Martin. Photography is my main passion. My work as a government contractor takes me all over the U.S. where I get to photograph allot of the places I visit and try to relay to other's what makes even the most obscure areas fascinating to see. I am currently focusing on portrait photography and my goal is at some point to open my own studio.I'm easy going. I respect individuality and creativity in other's. I don't subscribe to any particular group or creed, I like to keep an open mind to what is out there. I listen and absorb information from others, but I share my opinions freely. Never much cared what people think of me, because I'm not simple to define. I've seen and done allot in my life, however that does not make me better, but it has made me stronger. I think finding humor in pretty much any situation keeps one sane, but I won't laugh at another's misfortune. I'm open to new experiences and curious to figure out things for myself.

My father (Tata) passed away on March 9, 2005. He is my biggest hero! Taught me to be a good person. Educated me in history, literature, art, life, and most of all made me feel like I matter. He struggled all his life and never complained, gave everything for his family, and to his last day on this earth still smiled and told me everything would be alright. I love you Dad!! R.I.P.
