Talking bout one's self can be somewhat difficult. For me, it is very difficult so please bear with me. Briefly, I have always been interested in most everything creative; drawing, painting, music, written/printed/spoken word but most of all, photography. This can be attributed to my artistic family. Not to mention, a father who is an avid photographer and a darkroom in the house which I was raised in. The pursuit of distinguished unique perspectives has been an obsession ever since being afforded my first SLR at the age of 10. Endeavors in high level athletics physically paused this pursuit for a significant period of time. Yet, I always seemed to be mentally framing my own and analyzing other's images. A couple photographic opportunities toward the end of and after college bestowed upon me that becoming a photographer is undoubtedly my existence destiny.
