Among many things, I am an amateur photographer living in Baltimore, MD. I have always attempted to make quality photographs, even with a point and shoot. The first time I remember really understanding the power of photography was when I saw a Philippe Halsman exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. His use of photography to capture the essence of a person was fascinating. For me, photography is not just about taking pictures, it is about the process. It is about the events and interactions that I experience while undertaking the activity of photography.
