Photography started as a hobby for me when I was in my teens. I have always enjoyed and appreciated the fine arts, and particularly the graphic arts. I enjoy the expression of freedom, and the capture of the unknown, and the diversity that exists in this culture. My image galleries are quite diverse, and I do not proclaim to be any type of specific photographer. I shoot everything, and usually depending on my mood, there is a dynamic variety. I graduated in 2004 from the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula Montana. I was enrolled in their Digital Intensive Program. During that time, I was traveling in my motorhome, and trailering my Harley. I kind of had this mid-life crisis thing going on and decided to try something different. I ended up being on the road for a year, and I traveled extensively and shot thousands of pictures. My initiative for shooting has it's ebb and flows, and I sometimes take a sabatical for periods of time. Each time I do, I come back a little more creative, it seems. I would someday like to be recognized for my work, and if I keep trying, and keep shooting, I believe that to be inevitable. I hope you enjoy some of my images.
