"I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn’t photograph them."~Diane Arbus

I make photographs of everyday things that I love in the world around me. Each of my images reveals a little bit about me and my love of the ordinary and not so ordinary. I carry a camera with me everywhere. Yes, seriously everywhere.

I shoot film (135 and 120 film) though my love for medium format film cameras especially the Hasselblad V series cameras (501CM, 503CW and 503CXi) have won my heart. I also have a soft spot for my Contax 645, Mamiya 7II, Pentax 645N, Rolleiflex 2.8E Planar and the latest a Leica M3. I also enjoy instant film on my Polaroid SLR670-S (Mint Camera refurbished SX-70).

I still shoot digital and can be seen on occasion with either a Canon1 DX or Canon 5D Mark II.
