What happened to the old web site?

I fall in the category of artists that are always unhappy with their work. Once I complete something I have better ideas for the next one.
Go Figure!?!

In the works!

There has been no other art form that has inspired me more than the art of photography. The challenge of capturing the beauty of this world with a single photograph... has captured me.

It has been over five years that I picked up my fathers old SLR camera to finally learn how to use it. My story is like so many others, "once I picked it up, I never put it down". However, I did put it down, but I exchanged it for a digital one.
The technology fit me better. I couldn't afford a darkroom and I also didn't have an extra room. Well, I could have choked over the fumes and lived in a cave to have the darkroom in my bedroom, but I wasn't as crazy as my friend. I had a computer, so there you go.
My focus on landscape photography was mainly due to the influences of Ansel Adams. For one I related to the landscape art form because I grew up in Lake Tahoe, but also because I am shy. I have a hard time photographing people. I feel like a common mans paparazzi whenever I feel influenced by the situation of street photography. Landscapes don't have that 'give me your camera so I can break it' mentality. Although they do have an unspoken struggle.
So many times I have come home from a shoot with 'just missed the mark' images. It is just so frustrating, but that is what makes photography so unpredictable and exciting.
Every shoot is different, every shoot holds a certain struggle, every shoot is inspiring, but most importantly...
every shoot is fun.
