I have an AA in Marketing Art and Design and a BA in Photojournalism but I'm pretty much a self-taught photographer. Most of what I've learned has developed from a very early interest in my teenage years, particularly in the documentary and street genres, which is the inspiration part and the rest is pure intuition and dedication. My first 35mm camera was a manual Bell and Howell given to me by my father as a Christmas present with a TimeLife book "The Camera". My first love was Black and White but I don't care to limit myself and have since learned to see beauty in color as well. I define myself as a connoisseur of life, the good bad beautiful and all the faces in between. This is what I strive to convey with my images.
