I've been shooting for many years now, starting with my high school yearbook, but it wasn't until my father bought me my first digital SLR that I really became passionate... obsessed even... about photography. Starting with Pentax DSLRs and lenses I began to photograph the world around me as I wanted to remember it. Good friends, strangers, concerts, some travel, some pets. Later on my roommate and I became interested in off-camera strobe lighting. We lived in a house that frequently hosted concerts in the living room, giving me the perfect opportunity to shoot a lot of live music in my own controlled environment. www.trepid.org/events/houseshows/photos. Eventually I began to support the hobby by shooting weddings, events and portraits and this is something that continues to inspire, motivate and challenge me.

I shoot with a Nikon D750 and D810 and a Fuji X100s. I also shoot a bit of film with a Nikon N80 and Bronica ETRS with MC 75/1.8 and MC 40/4.
