Classically trained creative professional or Still Photographer by Trade. Well versed in multiple genres and styles of photography, i.e. Portrait, Fashion, Photojournalism, Still Life, Fine Art, Street Photography. Sensitive and highly intuitive with strong need to create like most artists. Life can get in the way of all that, so what you accomplish with your art in between will be your legacy, or body of work. Love the process of getting ideas from all kinds of sources. Have an old box of cut out photos I pull out for inspiration. Magazines, books, movies, events are other inspirations. Another photographer or artist's work can give you a kernal for new ideas as long as there is no evidence that you stole something. My photographs are my children and some have been with me for many years. Others are newborns that grow with new life as years pass. They become my historical documents of my creative births. I love what I can do with my art, using all my background, experience and bag of tricks to surprise and inspire me. 2012 will be a great new year for images to share. Looking forward to meeting many of you on this photo exchange program called flickr.
