About


self portrait            

I’ve always harbored a love for photography. My father was an avid photographer, so perhaps that’s where I get my knack from...who knows? Wherever it came from, I’m glad for it! I usually carry my camera with me wherever I go. I maintain this photoblog to record my day to day excursions and as an exercise to better myself as a photographer...that said, I strive to post every day-at least Monday through Friday, if not more. Oh, and I especially enjoy photographing pets...I love their honesty and I enjoy capturing their unique personalities! 

A little history and assorted geek info:

My passion for cameras and photography goes back a few years-as a kid I loved my little Kodak instamatic camera and I made a habit of sneaking off with my Mom’s Polaroid every chance I got...and just for the record, I still love Polaroids and I still have Mom's Polaroid as well! Later on down the road I graduated to my first SLR, a Pentax K1000 and then later to a Canon AE-1.

 

While freelancing in the film and television business for several years, my photography fell to the wayside. Then in 2000, the film biz kind of followed suit and fell to the wayside as well-at least in these parts. So, bolstered by my great love for animals (as well as lack of income), I started a pet care business to fill in the gaps. Bottom line: the pet care business took off and film work is still more miss than hit.

After being out of the loop with the arts for a while, I started missing my creative side and that's when I picked up a camera again and bought my first DSLR, a Canon Rebel XT in 2005...pair that with my Apple computer and I was hooked all over again. I later moved on to the Canon 30D, Canon 40D, and ultimately the Canon 5D. My latest addition to the mix is the Leica M8 Rangefinder...a camera I have coveted for quite a while!

 

I started doing some freelance photography about a year and a half ago and hope to keep it going and growing. I also sold a few framed prints and my pet photography is on display, as well as for sale here in Savannah, GA, at Central Animal Hospital at their inhouse pet boutique, "Art of Animals", located downtown in the Starland Arts District.
