Photography is a major part of my life, offering me creative satisfaction and joy. Over the past ten years I have studied with many important photographers such as Mary Ellen Mark, Graciela Iturbide, Antonin Kratochvil and Freeman Patterson. I will continue to study with the Masters whenever I can, but I am now taking personal responsibility to seriously pursue a few different projects on my own. I aspire to have a solo exhibit in a gallery, but my work is personal and exhibiting is not as important as shooting that which inspires me.
