This site is a showcase (humbly submitted) for my work and a place for me to blog about photographic topics near and dear to my hears.

To my shame, it’s been almost 2 years since I’ve updated my site. All the while, I have been honing my photoshop skills to a relatively fine edge, as well as learning a bunch about other components of the dream come true, otherwise known as the Adobe Creative Suite. Especially because I rely so heavily on the suite at work, and because I teach photoshop at the South Florida Camera Club, I’ve come a long way with respect to my photoshop skills, I just hope that my technical ability can overcome my lack of artistic prowess ☺

I feed off learning this stuff, and it’s time for me to apply what I’ve learned to my OWN work, thus the reason for the cleaning of the slate, the new site and the re-doing of all my work.

Post processing my own work is still harder than it ought to be :o)

This is the second (and long overdue) update to my gallery and inbox. I really do hope to get on a roll here with the updates!

I bought my first SLR in 1979—a Pentax ME Super. It’s always that experience of “that first photograph, isn’t it? It cane within 6–8 moths for me, and I was hooked. I never had any artistic ability until I discovered photography. My dad was an avid photographer, but his skills were mostly set at the recordation of family history and he really never did much with respect to art… maybe that’s why I didn’t catch the bug from him. I have fallen in and out of love–well… not out of love, just found interests that took my focus away from photography. Even after diving into digital, the same holds true. My involvement in the South Florida Camera Club though keeps my focus alive on the importance of the creative side of life.

I am also quite active in the trauma survivor community. I am a member of the American Trauma Society’s Consumer Advisory Board and quite active in their new project, the Trauma Survivors Network. This volunteer work for them has led to them awarding me (and the other board members) a lifetime membership in the American Trauma Society. I also just started my own trauma survivor site, TraumaSurvivor.org - mostly a news site and a blogging platform run on Wordpress MU for other survivors to blog on if they would like. I have my own blog there too.

I have leased my own internet server for several years now. My love of the internet drove me to it—I wanted to do more and learn more than a standard web hosting account would have given me at the time (which is still true in many ways), and host this and several other sites I’ve developed on it.
