"My background began in Commercial Art, painting, and Display Art. In '84 my career took a new direction in video production with a local company. I taught myself with hands on experience editing and shooting. My appetite for this medium increased, then I began thinking in terms of video art imaging. This led to creation imagery on video for a successful musical theatre show. Around the same time I pursued an offer to travel with a 'techno' band as their lighting and effects manager. I refined my skills in lighting, color and pattern composition. Two years later after living in hotel rooms and bus breakdowns, I chose an assistantship with a NewYork photographer Perry Jackson. I was (pardon the pun) 'en-lightened' to studio photography and as my lighting techniques grew, I was anxious to get out of the darkroom & behind the camera. I have been shooting for 22 years and have been unable to look at anyone or anything without finding the Art in the composition, I find myself growing and achieving more and more with each click of the shutter Now that MAC COMPUTERS are #1 for grahics and video, digital cameras are better than film new doors and challenges arrive everyday, I create TV comercials, 3D animations, I shoot Infomercials design & build websites...not only do I take the photos but I design flyers post cards & brochures & work with Printers becoming a one stop Media shop! If that was not enoughI have been working at a local Tv station creating Tv shows and editing, and on camera interviewing. internet Tv is around the corner and the programming is abundant!.I LOVE WHAT I DO!

"I can truly say, For me, photography is seeing the light."
