Creative Statement

I started taking pictures in my youth, and have never stopped. My first "real" camera was a Canon AE-1 program. I loved that camera and will never forgive the person who stole it from me. In college, I turned a hobby into a paying gig, taking pictures for the school. In those pre-digital days, everything was hand-developed, and the only photoshop we had was dodging and burning on the enlarger. For four years, I stank of fixer.

wld1 photography is not my primary job, but it offers me a creative release that keeps me sane. I split my time between shooting landscapes and landmarks in Napa, and shooting kids sports for my friends and family. I mainly shoot Canon and Fuji, and have fallen in love with the Fuji XT series. It's the only digital system that replicates the joy of my old AE-1. My photos can be found on Instagram, Facebook, and numerous stock photo sites.

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
