About me:

SOME THINGS ABOUT ME: One of My all time favorite things is photography. My aunt Linda worked as a professional photographer with a darkroom in her home. I would watch in awe as she developed photo after photo and strung them about in her home studio. Eventually I incorporated my love for photography into my every day life: Photographing friends, family, musicians (famous and not)as well as sports figures. (NY Islanders were a favorite back in high school...ah, Pat LaFontaine!) Photography has always been my passion. I started shooting album covers for varous bands as well as working as a freelance photographer for Miami Herald's STREET. I went from shooting with strictly b&w film to color to digital photography using my digital Nikon D-100. I have photo assisted on major events including the Orange Bowl games, Miami Dolphins games, rock concerts, etc. In addition to photography, I also play guitar in the noise band, THE LAUNDRYROOM SQUELCHERS. Although I'm not playing out much these days due to my more than busy schedule, I will now and forever be an original member of THE LAUNDRYROOM SQUELCHERS. IT'S BEEN OVER 12 YEARS NOW! THE SQUELCHERS, in addition to being South Florida's greatest NOISE BAND also boasts openening up for indie gods, GUIDED BY VOICES!!!!!
