Greetings! - and thanks for visiting.

My love of photography began when I was eight years old and on vacation with my family in Maine. I took over control of my Dad's two cameras - and everyone who saw the pictures that I'd taken during that trip were impressed.

By age fourteen - I had my own darkroom in my parents basement. I was shooting commercial weddings while in high-school.

I studied photography, art, and design at The College of Marin; and at San Francisco State University. But much of my real knowledge of this craft came from stretching what I saw and felt in working with the camera - and in being present to this remarkable life. I always try to find a unique approach and to explore new ways to ‘push’ the definition of ‘what is possible’. I love to listen.
