About Me

I live in Harrisburg Virginia. I graduated from Hallmark Institute of Photography in 1997, and completed continuing education studies for digital retouching and restoration in 2001, with an internship.

I am the 2nd oldest of 6 kids, 5 boys and 1 girl.

I am always looking for models, and seek out other artists for collaboration. I am, also, looking for a full time photo job. My preference is to work for a news paper. I am willing to relocate any where, for the right position.

I use a Pentax K1000 ,50mm, and a Nikon N2000, 80mm, 80-210, 30-70. I use mostly Fuji 400, or Kodak 400 color films. I use Photoshop 7.0 editing software. My computers were built for me by Fat Cat Computers in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
