About Me

Livin' in Phillthy. Located in the Fairmount area right next to a historic prison(Eastern State for you ghost hunters). Don't that sound glamorous? Happier than I've been in a long time. Don't miss Florida too much, but miss the great friends I spent time with down there. No more guys nights at the pub, at least not right now. I am realizing why I love the business of art direction. It allows me to work on 10 things at once and with all types of really talented creatives. Finally got back to photographing. Really happy to be back and being creative.Recent past, Getting ready to finally move. We'll be living in the Art Museum area in Phiilly. Tanner and I are living in a hotel in Newark, DE for right now. It's pretty funny. I'll put up some pics maybe. I am working full time at Tierney Comm. in downtown Philly. Pretty rad place. Cool people, cool projects so far.Further Past, I am recently engaged to the love of my life. I'm living in Ft. Liquordale, Florida for right now. Working at an advertising agency with some of the coolest people I've ever met. I finally found something I love to do and that will actually pay enough that I can eat sushi once a month. I am an artist with a need to scrape by. So I am forever searching for my perfect job and I will let you know when I find it. I love my beautiful girlfriend, photography (historic techniques), painting (especially the illegal kind), etching, tattoos, bobbers with no brakes, coffee, tea (only old dusty chinese), my friends, my family and how little time we have on this earth. Drink up, Nastrovi!I am always interested, if you need a photographer to document your night out, in photographing groups in social and private settings. I shoot in a very documentary style so you're definetly going to get a great set of shots to laugh at later. My site will be up soon and you'll be able to judge for yourselves. check it soon at: theblacklamb.com

The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.-BANKSY
