About Me
I would like to thank the fine people at Model Brigade for thinking that my work mades me worthy of being a featured photographer. It is an honor I share with some previously featured photographers, whose work I greatly admire. For once, I'm in some good company!
I've been a professional photographer since 1968. I make no claim to being good at what I do. I'm better than some, and not as good as some others. As a person, I don't take myself seriously. I joke around and encourage those around me to laugh and have a good time, even if it means making them laugh at me instead of with me. I love what I do and it's great to enjoy working and have fun doing it.
Like many, I'm still learning. Despite my love of humor, I'm very serious about my work. I constantly try to improve my skills in terms of posing, concepts, lighting and all of the technical and artistic aspects of photography. I learn by attending workshops, reading books and tutorials, reading posts in the MM forums and when all that fails, I simply ask my friends who are gracious enough to share the information they've learned with me. If my work has any merit at all, it's not that I'm so good, it's that others have shared.
Hopefully, as you view my portfolio here, you'll find something to like. If you find one image that you like, my efforts were successful.
If you think working together might provide some mutual benefit, let's talk about it. I don't schedule shoots without some sort of plan involving basic concepts, wardrobe, hair, makeup, location, etc. It's just how I prefer to work. The best photos are not simply "taken" they are "created".
Thank you, very sincerely!

I've been involved in the photo industry for 35+ years. I'm starting to get a "clue". I could tell you how great I am and how fantastic my work is, but it boils down to whether or not you like it.
I hope you find something to like about my work.
