I first became interested in photography at age nine when my dad gave me a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera for my birthday. It was my first camera ever. Little did I know during that moment that this simple little camera with drop-in film cartridges and pop-in flash bulbs would foster a passion that would remain with me my entire life. I love the outdoors and I love nature. As much as possible, I try to convey the beauty and drama of what I experienced in my images. while implementing a “low-impact, non-manipulate” approach. In the present age of digital photography, I feel like a dinosaur sometimes still shooting film. But I strongly believe that my purist roots have made me the best photographer that I can possibly be. When I select a film image to be scanned into a digital file, it is the best possible image created in the field that will need little or no color/contrast correction. My objective, my joy, is to chase the light and capture the moment – that single moment in time which may never be replicated the same way again.
