About me:

..
.. .. I'm currently reconnecting with my love of photography, and actually putting some effort into it this time by working hard, networking with the right people, and getting good results.

It will be a long while before my home studio is operational (because of financial constraints), but I do all types of photographs for people from all walks of life. For the first year, it seemed to be me working exclusively with area musicians, and regional bands, but now I've been doing a lot of wedding photography, family portraits, and I'd like to start doing Senior portraits, but that will be a while. The photos are quality enough for that, but I'd need to have prints made myself.

Who I'd like to meet:

Artists, other photographers, musicians, open-minded intelligent people, anyone not afraid to stand by their convictions in the face of opposition.



"I'm glad I didn't go to school for photography. Other photographers I know, Helmut Newton and Bruce Weber didn't either. Even Steven Meisel didn't, really-he went to fashion school. For me, the most important thing I learned was just honing my eye. I think I had a good eye. I'd go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light; I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That's how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques. [...] What I particularly liked was that, coming from California and not being involved in the New York scene, I developed my personal way, in my own way, at my own pace. Looking back on it, I think it was terrific that I could do that. So I'm glad I didn't go to school for that reason. I was tutoring myself, I suppose. Many people who excel are self-taught." - Herb Ritts
