I am just another average amateur photographer and wish to remain so. As John Sexton puts it: “I will always be an amateur photographer in the sense that an amateur is someone who does something not because they are paid but because of passion.” This is a passionate hobby and will remain so.

The one line that taught me the most about photography is: "Don't shoot the subject, shoot the light."

I love comments and critiques about my pictures, so please go right ahead and be extremely vocal. I don't mind at all! In fact, I like critical comments more than "feel good" comments. I do look at each and every comment and try to learn or if necessary respond to it.

Quid-Pro-Quo If you comment on one of my photos or add me as a contact, please do not expect me to do the same. I am not being rude or anything like that. I only comment on pictures that I like. I would only want sincere thoughtful comments from people that really like my photos and not "feel good" comments. I hope it would be the same for you as well.
