  • Greetings!

    When I was six years old, my mother gave me a diary.  I remember very distinctly that it was red with a little brass lock.  This began my journey into recording the details of my everyday life.  Writing has always been a love of mine and a necessary part of my self expression.  While in school working towards my English degree,  I had the opportunity to visit the John Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.  To my great pleasure, the feature exhibits consisted of many great Masters of Photography. One of whom was the great Andre Kertesz.  I immediately fell in love with his ability to form the perfect snapshot and felt something inside myself completely identify.  It was upon reading a quote by Mr. Kertesz that I went home and promptly changed my major to Photography.  The words were simply, "I write with light."

    I'm a street shooter at heart, who people hire when they want honest and intelligent images documenting personal events. I dabble in portraiture. I run half marathons. And write, a lot.

    I'm currently working on several personal projects. One of which is my first novel.

National Blog Posting Month

I am a member of this little piece of blogging heaven and for the month of May the theme is LOOK UP.  I thought this was a great theme for my photo-journal.  I hope to not have to post 30 days of clouds but to think a little more creatively and shoot what is above me.  This, of course, is all part of my way of continuing Project 365 which I’m finding, once again, as being tiresome.

This Project 365 has really taught me a lot.  I’ve realized it has cycles in which I’m highly inspired and cycles where I just feel put out with it.  Sometimes I quit things based on the significance or lack thereof in my life.  Who really cares if I continue or discontinue with Project 365.  The world won’t fall apart, my children won’t starve, my days might get a little bit more free from the distraction of finding something to shoot, but in the end will I feel that I’ve accomplished something?  For me?  I feel so connected now to my Project that I don’t think I could quit if I wanted to.  It’s like my little baby that I’ve been nourishing every day now for 120 days….a third of the way there.    So, I think the theme LOOK UP will help freshen up my eyes and set me on a new course and if I end up shooting clouds and tree branches for the next 30 days then they’ll be the best clouds and tree branches I’ve ever seen.  Here’s to May’s theme: LOOK UP!
