I primarily photograph people. I enjoy shooting musicians on and off stage, portraits on and off location, nature, and street photography.
I love the process of shooting film. It depends on the assignment whether I shoot film or digital or even both. My goal is to create the image so the viewer doesn’t even wonder if I shot it on film or with digital capture. I just need to create beautiful images.
I was sixteen when a friend gave me a Yashica FX3 35mm SLR, preloaded with a roll of film. I didn’t know how that thing worked, how the meter worked, or even just how to wind the film. I fumbled through that first roll of film, I took it to the drug store to be processed. The images were terribly over and under exposed. I was hooked, and I could hardly wait to get the second roll of film into the camera. I’ve heard so many photographers tell that same story. It’s how we all began. Like so many others, I was introduced to the something special with the help and generosity of other photographers.
