After a brief flirtation with film in the late 90's I got bit by the photo bug in 2001 when I purchased my first digital camera, an Olympus C-3000. Many years and many cameras later I shoot mostly people—portraits, events, etc.—with a smattering landscapes and macro. When I'm not traipsing around with a camera I'm in a studio or on stage telling stories. You can hear some of my audio work at JoelRichards.com or search for me on Audible.com.
