What would I do if I couldn't shoot? Don't ask ...
I've been taking pictures since March 2010 and I can see myself doing this for the rest of my life. Never has a medium so completely captured my mind, my eyes, and above all, my heart. My only regret is in not taking up photography years ago. I must now make up for lost time.
I've had several professional shoots and was fortunate enough to sell my first works earlier in 2012, but my goal remains to find the beautiful in life, especially if I can find it in places where people don't ordinarily think to look. Times are hard enough without taking the occasional break to celebrate the beauty of God's creation.
I am rarely happier then when I hold a camera in my hands. I am passionate to learn and enjoy looking at the work of my Flickr friends and associates.
I also love contacts. However, if you are going to list me as a contact, please do me the honor and courtesy of communicating from time to time. I will make every effort to do the same.
Thank you for viewing my photostream!
