I
became interested in photography while attending the University
of Arizona. In 1983, I received a small sum of money after
the passing of my grandparents. I used the money to purchase
a Canon AE1 35mm camera. I began studying how light and composition
shared the same space. In the beginning, I took photographs
of family and friends. It wasn't until I visited Mexico City
in 1986 that I discovered the wonders of how a great photograph
can create memories that can last a lifetime.
It is often said in photography, especially if you have captured something
truly wonderful that you are said to; "have a good eye". I
soon discovered that I had a 'good eye' and wanted to take my hobby to
another level.
After
graduating from college in 1984, I tried for several years
to pursue a career in photography. I decided to shelve the
plan and focus on getting a job, and work on my master’s
degree. After 16 months working for a large insurance company
in Phoenix. I moved to Denver Colorado and decided it was
time to study photography again. I loved photographing the
beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the landscapes throughout
Colorado.

In
1988, after completing my master’s degree I moved to
the San Francisco Bay Area and began working in 'The City'.
I was in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and
began studying and reading all I could about photography.
I dug out my old Canon AE1 whenever I could. Then in 1997,
I was introduced to digital photography, I never looked back
and have been a fan of the medium ever since.
Today, 100% of my work is digital and related to wedding, portrait and
high school senior photography. I just love working with the couples
and all of the excitement associated with weddings. It is that one moment
when all things just seem to come together. I am often asked which camera
I use. My camera of choice is the Nikon D2Xs. Nikon are simply the finest
cameras made. The glass is equally as superior.
