I have been an avid enthusiast working with both film and digital who firmly believes that you should never stop learning and improving your craft. I hope this shows in my work.My favorite subjects are Landscapes, Rural area’s and anything that burns gas especially old cars and construction equipment.I have been told that some of my work has a very dark and spooky side :)A large part of my work includes processing in Photoshop CS5, ACR 6, Lightroom 3.4, NIK Software, Alien Software and Corel Paint11.

Camera’s:

Film: Minolta Maxxum 450si
Minolta AF 28-80/3.5-5.6 Lens
