A little about me, I was born in Arizona, raised in California until I was 13, and have been in Alaska since then. I’ve been taking photos of things since I was big enough to press down the shutter button. I find it fascinating to be able to capture a moment in time and be able to share it with others, that’s what drives me to continue taking photographs.

Moving a lot while growing up has taught me to really appreciate my environment and surroundings. Whenever I travel to new cities, I’m constantly looking around, taking in all the architecture, the people, the plant life, everything. I love patterns, both naturally occuring and manmade, and many of my photos reflect that. I also enjoy taking photos of things that may have otherwise gone unnoticed that I saw as having a lot of intrinsic artistic value, such as a fly on my window, a zipper, or even a cheese grater.

In case you’re wondering, my photos have been taken with a variety of cameras. I’m current using a Nikon D300 for most of my photos, though my trusty Yashica-MAT LM (c. 1956) medium format camera makes it into use every now and then. Older photos have been shot on a variety of digital and 35mm film cameras.

I occasionally exhibit my photography with the Alaska Photographic Arts Association (APAA) or solo. If you’re in Juneau, you can keep an eye on the newspaper for announcements of upcoming shows and I’ll try to post notices regarding these exhibits as well.
