Well, I’ve been on Red Bubble for a year and a half now. I’m very glad I found it. It’s a good place to interact with other artists and the amazing level of talent you find here is simply breathtaking. I feel very fortunate to be part of such a diverse and creative community. I view it as a real privilege.
Born and raised in Southern California, I now live in Pennsylvania.
So… as for my photography, it is something I have been doing since I was a teenager. I have owned and dearly loved a Minolta XG-1 since that time and I swore by it until I was given a new Nikon D300 and a couple of lenses for Christmas 2007. It was a gift from a life-long friend, arrived on January 9th, 2008 and it has literally changed my life.
While in my mind I still see myself as an amateur, friends and family tell me I have ‘progressed’. I’m glad to hear that, as it is something I do strive for…. but I dare not quit my ‘day job’ any time soon…
I thank all who take the time to flip through my now lengthy gallery. I hope you find something within the pages to make you think, smile, remember, dream, laugh, cry or love.
