I'm a writer, photographer and artist. I picked up a camera in 2004 with semi-serious intentions and fell in love. Hard. Since then I've taken classes, shot thousands of shots, read dozens of books and looked at countless photographs by other photographers. I want to see as much as I can, learn as much as I can, develop my eye and skills as much as I can. I believe that natural talent isn't the only path to success. Frequently hard work unlocks what we think of as talent. At least I hope so.
