My love is emergency medicine, but my passion is photography. This site is intended to showcase some of my most distinctive images.
My daughter jokes that I have seen all the important moments of my life through a viewfinder, even her birth -- she is right!
My first camera was a Kodak Instamatic, which my parents gave me for Christmas when I was 8 years-old. I have not stopped taking pictures since! It was not until my 15th birthday that I received my first "real camera" (Olympus OM-2). I went on to take every photography course that my high school and college had to offer.
I finally switched to digital in 2002 and I love the medium! I enjoy the flexibility of manipulating pixels on my computer in broad daylight. I am also not afraid to take as many shots as needed to get the image I want. Digital has increased my confidence as a photographer and the quality of my work.
I shoot Nikon D2Xs and D200 bodies, always with Nikon glass. I also carry with me a Casio EX-Z50 (point and shoot) for those unexpected photo opportunities. My images have a photojournalistic quality to them, which I developed through the many years I contributed to regional newspapers, school publications and yearbooks. I light my subjects using Hensel lights, which I modify using Photoflex soft boxes, umbrellas and reflectors. The quality of these lights is outstanding!
Historically my images have focused on people, nature and travel. I am currently shooting mostly portraits, beauty and private glamour. My work has been published in trade magazines, regional and national newspapers, and various internet portals.
I am available for freelance photography including editorial, travel, nature, sports, portraits, beauty and glamour. I do not shoot TFP, but my rates are reasonable. Contact me for a quote.
