Profile

I’m a friendly fellow from Fall River, Massachusetts that really enjoys capturing individual moments of the world around me. I have all sorts of inspiration, from the tiniest little bugs to beautiful flowers and to the most entertaining of creatures. Plus there’s history galore to be found in this region and in my occasional travels.

For easy inspiritation, there’s always the friends and family around me plus lots of scenery and all of the life that lives, intertwined, in the fabric that is my canvas; the wide world around me.

For me photography is a valued means to added appreciation. Instead of just sitting there looking indifferently at yet another squirrel, I’m down on the ground, crawling for a shot, capturing individual moments of life.
