Primarily a fine art painter of portraits, landscapes, abstracts, figures. I started shooting in earnest in 1995. After paying big bucks to have my paintings photographed in a studio, I was so disappointed that I realized I could have almost bought a camera and done the job myself. So I went down to Precision and bought my little old Minolta 400 si. I use a minimum of equipment. The camera and a 3500xi wireless flash. I love location shoots and like to improvise backdrops. I use found materials as well as store bought fabrics. B.T.W. If you are a photographer I can airbrush a backdrop for you

Having been a painter for twenty years, I can not say how many models I have worked with. Having the camera and many models was a natural fit. I have been doing headshots ever since. The camera has given me a whole new visual perspective.

Currently I am working really hard to gain as much exposure to my site as possible and it is paying off. I am aveaging over 2,000 hits a day. My goal is 10,000. I love to trade links and in many cases do not expect a reciprocal link. So if you are a photographer contact me and I will probably add your link, the same goes for models. I am all for the “World Wide Web” literally, and cross promotion.

I will shoot three rolls of color slide film for $125.00 or six rolls for $200.00.
