I am an amateur/hobbyist photographer living in Columbus, Ohio. While I enjoy photography as a hobby, I want this pastime to be more than just taking photos for my own pleasure. In order to accomplish this I volunteer my skills at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and with the Columbus Metro Parks System. I also like capturing shots that are meaningful to someone and giving them a framed copy.

About CONTACTS: I don't have alot of contacts because I don't collect them like baseball cards. I choose them by either having direct contact with the person and we go shooting together or I really dig their photo stream and I think I can learn from them. If you choose me as a contact, I thank you for thinking that my photos are good enough that you would want to see more of them and please don't be offended if I don't reciprocate. I am more interested in the quality of the contact relationship than the quantity of contacts I have.

USING AN IMAGE: Ask before using any of my images for any reason. All photographs in my photo stream are covered by copyright and are my sole property. If you like an photograph of mine and would like to use it for a NON-PROFIT use I would most likely allow that. I just want to know how my work is being used. If you want to use an photograph for commercial use I expect to be compensated for it. Just because I am an amature doesn't mean I will give my work away for free so others can make a profit from it.
