Photography is something that has been a big part of my life since I was 5 years old. I bought a Kodak box camera at a thrift store for .75 cents. Later I bought a Kodak Monitor that I used for years. I first started developing and printing my own photographs when I was 12 years old.

I also love the history of photography and history in general. I moved onto 35mm and then to digital in 2003. 10 years as a custom printer and I never stopped taking photos. Since I am picky about how my photos are printed. I am happy that we all can scan and with Photoshop share our photos with the World. So far I have only just started to get into the archives and the archives are deep. Every road trip I have gone on in the last 30 years. The main thing I did was document the journey. I do believe the journey is the thing. I hope to share my passion for photography with anyone who might be interested.

I do consider myself a photographer and have always done things differently than the standard. I earned my living doing many things other than photography. Most pro-photographers shoot stock or personal photos while on assignment. All of my photos are personal. I have shot weddings and portraits as favors for friends. I just hope that other people like the photographs I have taken along my journey’s. I now have to figure out how to sell and share the many 1000’s of photographs. Like many creative people I tend to have a rather rusty sense of business. I am glad to accept help and or opinions, drop me a line. I’m friendly and like to talk.
