I've always been into art and design. If computer graphic design had existed when I was in college, I would probably be doing that instead of the career path I chose. I started taking photography seriously when I got my first digital camera, a Canon Powershot point and shoot. I "focused" mainly on waterfalls, and still enjoy shooting them. I am completely self-taught. My knowledge comes from books and magazines, but my inspiration and creativity has been stoked by participation in flickr.

My photography has taken a turn, of late. After reading about several different forms of abstract photography, I became addicted to smoke photography. This is a peculiar little niche in photograpy circles, but I've always been attracted to the more artsy and abstract photos. I also noticed that many of the creations I was making began to have a Rorschach quality about them, a feature I enjoy as a Psychologist.

I want to thank all of the flickr participants who have commented on my photos or listed me as a contact. It has been a rewarding experience to see that others appreciate what I am doing, and to enjoy and be inspired by their successes as well. Please also check out my group Smoke & Mirrors for other wonderful smoke photography.

Send me a Flickrmail if you have any questions about my photography or are interested in prints. I am able to make Archival quality prints up to 16X24.
