I'm an amateur. Which is great, because I'm lazy and would starve to death trying to live off the paltry number photos I take. And my camera just broke. So, when the phone doesn't ring I can rest assured that it's not my agent calling to book me for another out-of-country shoot with a model who looks like the original Daisy Duke.

I use film and cheap digital cameras but I secretly dream of getting a moderately priced digital so I won't be the youngest guy by 20-some years at the Walgreens photo lab picking up his developed film.

My thanks to Mary Longoria and Matthew Ellis for the gifts of cameras that took the pics you see on my site. Also, I want to thank Sam and Renee (ShutterSam and DigiNee) for directing me to flickr and Assignment Houston.
