I'm a fun-loving youth minister on weekends and computer guy for a day job. I have a creative side that keeps busting out from time to time. as a youth worker, I always have a camera handy (love digital! I can shoot "free"!!) whenever I'm with the kids, and that's rather frequently. I don't have anywhere near my entire portfolio on flickr, but I try to add sets as I can and often when the subjects in the photos want to see them online. I've been paid several times to shoot, but would hardly call myself much more than an enlightened amateur, so I WELCOME any comments, especially from the photography community - tell me what I can do to improve! I'd love it!

Also, since I have a fair amount of my collections available to all on flickr, I would like to clarify the following:

You will be blocked if:

1. You leave inappropriate comments on my photos.

2. Favorite a photo of a kid in with "adult" photos.

3. Steal my photos to post on your stream or elsewhere.

Please read the comments for the following set which describes me and many of my sets quite well:

"2009 First, Best Water Fight"
