I'm a U.S. Navy photographer (MC2(AW)) currently assigned to Navy Medical Center Portsmouth, Virginia. This is the place where I'm MUCH MORE valuable, appreciated and cared for than some of the people in my previous command.

I started shooting back when I was a 20-year-old college freshman. All I had was my uncle's Nikon FM and a Tamron zoom lens. I later purchased a Nikon 35-mm lens and a terrific Leica M6. I couldn't believe the sharpness that Leica lens could really produce. I shot primarily in B/W and I'll try to rescan those negatives and post the images online around late 2008.

When I reported to Pre-commissioning Unit (PCU) and later USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), I was given a D1X and sometime a D1H. I also had a chance to work w/ D2H at Syracuse University and now shooting w/ D2X equipped with four different lenses. I love my current camera kit and I plan to buy a D2Xs body and more accessories for personal and professional use in the future.

I'm in the progress of replacing most of low-res pictures with hi-res version. In the mean time, just click on my images and give me a feed back. Any comment is welcome.
