I was introduced to photography in a sixth grade science class. I did not realize at that time that that class would have such a profound effect on me.  In hindsight, it set the course of my life.

I ended up spending most of my career in the motion picture industry.  I started out as an assistant in the camera department and worked my way up to work as a director of photography.

Early on, I realized that what I really enjoyed was the process.  The results were important, but the process was were the fun was.  This process was the same whether it was a mainstream feature film, a small industrial project, or even a “run and gun documentary”.  I found that I enjoyed working on small projects with small crews more than I did big budget shows.  People just seemed to enjoy the work more when millions of dollars were not on the line.

That was probably a bad decision.  Maybe I should have continued working on bigger projects, but that would have changed so much in my life.  I like where I ended up, so I have no regrets.

These days, I don’t do many film/video projects, but I still make photographs.

As you will see, I don’t really fit into a category.  I shoot what catches my attention and what interests me at the time.  Not every picture is a portfolio piece, but every experience is priceless.  It’s about the process.
