My hands have always been in reach of a camera. My parents taught me how to use their Nikomat SLRs and insisted that I always capture the moment. Digital cameras: Sony Mavica-FD71, Sony DCR-PC110, Canon 10D, Canon SD750, Canon 50D, Canon 7D, iPhone 3G, 4, and the GoPro HD Hero.

I greatly enjoy time-lapse and long exposure photography. It wasn't until early 2008 that I became interested in concert photography. I love live music and I love photography, so why not combine them! The earliest concerts that I can remember attending were: Pink Floyd, Santana, The Rolling Stones, and Scorpions (I still have backstage pics from this show). I now have so much more appreciation for concert photographers (even more so for the the ones that don't have photo pits to work in).

I'm a creative at heart and a full-time freelancer. Outside of photography, I create videos and websites.
