About Me...

   Thank you for taking a few moments to enjoy my photography.  I'll tell you a little about myself here, but you can probably learn a lot more about who I am, and the art I create, by simply looking through my galleries.

   I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida.  I moved here in 1997.  Until a few years ago, photography was just an occasional interest.  I didn't enjoy spending all that money on film and developing.  So, when digital cameras came along, I braced myself, and plunked down about $600 for a 2 megapixel Sony point-and-shoot.  Yikes. 

   It didn't take long for me to discover the joy of capturing an image for eternity.  I've been fortunate enough to travel around the state and the country on a number of trips in the past few years, making photography my primary goal.

   That old 2 megapixel is long since retired.  In case you're wondering, I now shoot with a Sony Alpha A-100 DSLR, along with some Tamron and Minolta lenses. 

   My favorite subjects?  It's hard to narrow down.  Just when I think I've established one type of subject as my favorite, something else comes along.  Of course, I love working with landscapes and nature scenes.  I especially enjoy old mining towns, fishing villages, and ghost towns--it seems time is frozen in these places.  Of course, living in Florida provides endless opportunities for shooting sunsets and beach scenes.  I also enjoy photographing families and children, especially when they're in their native environment, like a playground or park.

   My work has been displayed at local establishments such as Sip... Coffee House and Java 'n Cream on Tampa's Davis Islands, and Mitchell's Coffee House in Lakeland.  Soon, my works will be available in the new Tampa Artist Emporium in Tampa's Old Hyde Park Village (Opening July 2007).  I'm always looking for other local opportunities, so if you know of a restaurant or other business that's looking for a local artist, let me know.
