I'm a full time U.S. Navy Musician (Currently stationed at Navy Band Southeast in Jacksonville, FL) and a part time and enthusiastic photographer. I shoot what I like and share my selects with you on Flickr.

I've been taking photos for quite a while, but while deployed in support of Pacific Partnership 2015 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Partnership) I had the opportunity both to shoot a lot and to get some instruction, critique and guidance from qualified Navy photographers (Thanks, Chris, Mike, and Greg!). Since then, it's become a consuming passion. How did I go this long without really getting into this?

I find myself wanting to shoot landscapes and seascapes, but street photography and architecture interest me, too. What it boils down to is if I find it interesting, I'll shoot it. If it turns out well, I'll probably share it here on Flickr. I welcome your constructive criticism and comments.
