I retired from the US Air Force after 26 years as a aircraft mechanic/supervisor. I got interested in photography in high school. But, the military had other plans for me. So, I picked my camera back up after 26 yrs. Photography is truly my passion. I appreciate and enjoy the creative efforts of photographers, models, makeup, hairstylists and wardrobe persons. I wish to use this site to meet fellow photographers, models and MUA's, etc.; to learn from their images and creativity; gain experience and improve my own abilities as a photographer.

Never forget how far we have come or where the journey started. There is always someone better than ourselves weather we choose to believe it or not. This outlook will ensure I remain modest and encouraging in my opinions and comments. Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. Seeing it is the first and easiest step...humans are visual (men more so than women). Expressing and giving compliments concerning beauty is a little more difficult. But, the hardest of all is learning how to create, capture and preserve that beauty forever!

Currently my photography is all that I do. This makes for a very flexable schedule and availability. Buying props, equipment, and wardrobe items can get pricey. But, unlike some, I am still interested in shooting TFP/CD. If at some point, I am receiving monetary compensation for our work together, I will be glad to share with you Both parties have expenses and both are working their best... I will waive my fees though in order to shoot. Cuz that is what is most important....SHOOTING!

MY WEB BASED NETWORKING PHILOSOPHY: Sites like these are a combination first "passive" interview and an addition to a printed portfolio. As such: you would never put a camera pic or a wallet size print in your printed port. You don't have to go out and spend a bunch of money to get some nice captures to put in your book or site. There has to be someone with the passion (if not experience) in your area to work with on a TF basis. Take the time and effort to put your best foot (work) forward. It is your first impression. Number two: everything in your online port should tell the same story. For example..."semi professional status", "experienced", and "paid shoots only"....and then back it up with 4-8 cam pics or point and shoot shots by your best friend or boyfriend don't add up. It is almost like going to an interview and answering questions that outright contrdict your resume....not "professional" at all! Just my two cents worth MMer's

If you are in the area and you are interested in shooting together, don't hesitate to contact me.

I have more photos posted on facebook, myspace, modelmayhem (MM) and modelbrigade (MB)
