Artist Statement I guess the interest in photography started when I was a kid and got a little Fuji 110. I just loved to take pictures of things, whatever interesting things my sugar injected mind could find. I never did take it any farther than the 110 for a while. I played with some digitals whenever I could just having fun. Eventually I upgraded to a Fuji S5200 a few years ago to take with me on walks in the woods and along the river. For the first time I let people see my photo's, my wife started using them for her desktop at work. People seemed to quite like them and friends & family encouraged me to try and make a career out of my love for this. So here I am with a Rebel XSi and a few decent lenses, waiting to get a 5D MKII, studying every book I can find on photography so I can learn more about lighting and theory. This year I've had the chance to shadow on some weddings and some model photo shoots as well for some great experience.
