UPDATE: July 2012 - moving back home to Cleveland, Ohio...

I like making photographs. I've been doing it in one shape or form since I was about 7 and my Dad gave me his old Kodak Brownie camera. Since then, I've used several 35mm film cameras, an old second-hand Mamiya medium format camera, countless point and shoot models (both film and digital...anyone remember flashcubes?) and now, a nice bunch of Nikon, Sony and Olympus DSLRs.

More recently...stocking up on film and B&W developing chemicals...and rediscovering Polaroid....

Mostly, I just like to document my life - things I see in my travels and moments in time I might want to remember later. Fortunately, for about the last 10 years or so, I've had a job that takes me to various points across the globe and my camera comes with me. All those neat travel photos are fun to take, but so are the ones I've taken in my own backyard or down the street at the park. My photostream is literally "all over the map"...
