I have always been fond of photography, but have grown passionate about every picture I take and present to others. What drives my desire to take great pictures is the reward of seeing the reaction of those who enjoy viewing them, whether it's a picture of a family member, pet, landmark, landscape, event, or something as simple as a single Autumn leaf or a bird. I enjoy capturing and presenting things that people have never seen before as much as I do capturing things that people walk or drive past everyday without ever stopping to really notice or appreciate. It always amazes me the reactions I get from people who are presented with a picture of something that would not ordinarily draw their attention, yet are instantly drawn in because of the picture's composition and detail that awakens their interest - it happens to myself all the time. Wherever I go in my daily travels I find myself looking at everything as if through the eye of a camera.

At the end of the day I hope my pictures have added something to your lives, even if just a small amount of awareness, curiosity, or emotion and ultimately memories that will last a lifetime.
