Born and raised in Fort Myers, Florida, I moved to New York City in 2006. My initial stay was cut short, however, as I was placed on orders to be deployed to Iraq that same summer. I've always been "into" photography, but after I invested in my first D-SLR while I was deployed, I fell in love with it.

I'm really not sure in what direction I would like to take my photography, but my primary interests are in photojournalism. The idea of wedding and fashion photography interest me, but I have no experience in these fields. Perhaps one day I'll find the opportunity to work with someone in these fields. (If you happen to know of an opportunity where I can contribute, please feel free to contact me at tolbiny+flickr@mac.com )

I like to share some of my images here on Flickr, particularly because of the social aspect of this community. If you're interested in the images you see here, please visit my web site at the link below, which will guide you to my gallery on SmugMug. There, you may purchase prints or usage rights to my images.
