HI! I have been a creative person all my life. At a very young age I was sketching and painting and writing. I became a nurse to "make a living" and stayed in the medical field for 25 years. Why? Because I couldn't hack it as a starving artist. But I learned to talk to people, to be empathetic and real with people, and people feel comfortable with me. I have, like Peter, also been a bartender and modeled a little in previous decades. All of this helps me be a better photographer; it's not just about a picture of you, it's about your spirit, your personality, conveying something authentically you. That's always my goal.

I've owned the Sony a7rIII for about 15 months and I'm addicted to photography. I want to learn everything about everything to do with photography. I'm not interested in being type-cast, I shoot people, places and things! I am very much interested in developing my own "style" and learning from the. best. That is why I joined the crew.

Let's get real, together.
