| About me |
|
My interest in photography goes back to childhood. It seems I had a camera of my own from day one as far as I can remember and taking snap shots of the things that made my minds eye curious. This carried over into early adulthood, the habit of either making sure I had a camera with me to capture what I saw and were it was. Or the evolution... intentionally going and hunting for the image with a purpose. I called it a hobby. Maybe it was more of a fulfillment of something deeper. About 16 years of my life were spent as partner in a successful family owned screen printing, vinyl graphics and embroidering company. I was the print technician as well as in house graphics artist, layout and separations specialist. I have worked with many,many types of artwork and images. As well as subcontracted out to other companies involved in signage, print and advertising outside of my company as well. A decission was made to sell the business. I Decided to stay in imaging and advertising but on a different platform. So I set my sights on photography as something other than just a hobby. I got serious about it. Started collecting a library, adding to my equipment, and taking classes. Ultimately taking better photos and creating an ever growing skill set in something I have a passion for so that I can provide a quality product for my clients. My goal in this leg of my career is to take photographs that are classic, creative, origenal, flattering and keep the grit and feel of REAL photography ... not graphicaly edited and changed to make them something else other than the origenal image and moment.
Formal Education: Professional experience in print and add work, 20 years in total I also make a habit of reading on a weekly basis - books, web articles and magazines as time permits as well as continuing any formal education when I can. I do understand that knowledge applied to real life work is the best educator and I do this on a daily basis in everything I do. We can never stop learning. I also understand and believe that simplicity in architecture while maintaining perfective function is the key. Thank you for taking a bit of time to know something about me.
