Qualifications

All of these describe my job ethic. I'm looking secure a position in my field of expertise. My art background gives me a way to look at things outside the box, finding a unique and compelling way to tell a story. My 15 years of experience gives me the knowledge and seasoning of a professional photographer but also gives me the understanding that there is always something new to learn. I am skilled with Canon 10D, 1D, Nikon D1, D1H and Canon and Nikon film equipment, the latest photoshop software, FTP servers and transmitting via laptop.
