i photograph beauty and excellence

i refer to myself as a "reactive" photographer meaning i seek to capture something special, unique, so i react to "the moment" rather than just the "pose"

i generally shoot b/w film and create color art by my own hand

only since last year have I begun to offer digital imagery

although a commercial photo artist, I also offer TFA on occasion

creating inspired images is my passion along with writing
