BIOGRAPHY

I learned early that: life is not always what it seems but what we make of it.

I love the idea of viewing objects that we see everyday and capturing them from an unusual vantage point.

My desire is to uplift those who view my work, to bring a smile to your face.

Sitting at the Getty Museum I was inspired by the reaction of people coming in and seeing Van Gogh’s Irises. Each and every person, as they spotted that painting, brightened up and beamed with joy.

Passion – life is not common. We are all unique.

My wish for you is that you live life passionately.

I have been a student of life for eons. I have been a photographer since my dad first placed a camera in my hands at the age of 8. I still have that browning box camera. It sits proudly on a high shelf in my family room.

I have risked my life for a photo. While traveling to the Grand Canyon, I ventured out, over the fence to a steep area that was covered in pebbles.

Now, pebbles are not very stable and the incline was very steep ending with a straight drop down into the Grand Canyon. The pebbles gave way under my foot as I was climbing back up after getting the shot.

I thought I was a goner. I was not sure if they would even be able to recover my body.

But you’ll be happy to know, I made it, heart POUNDING, life that much more precious that I lived to tell the story and share my work with you.
