I enjoy: long walks on the beach, sleeping, smell of fixer on my hands, traveling with my camera, talking 'photo', the smell of mothballs, rain, hanging with my cats, Photoshop, learning new things, cuddling, exploring abandoned buildings, euchre, getting lost on H-58, flickr, reading a good book, Orson Wells, naps on Saturday afternoons, Chicago, drinking beer while playing darts, lava lamps, my Canon 20D, pasta, the Upper Peninsula, cute guys, reminscing with old friends, eavesdropping, watching the Discovery Channel, giggling, first days of spring, Moonpies, making fun of sorority girls, studio lighting, actualizing a 'creation' in Photoshop, and comphy hoodies...

Photography is my passion.

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."

--- Vincent T. Lombardi

"If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up." - Richard Avedon
