I started "snapping" photos when I was in high school with my minolta 201. Through the years I've learned to always have a camera on hand, you just never know when oppotunities will arise. I am primarily self taught and avid black and white film photographer I went into the digital age fighting and kicking. I see the world as though looking through a camera lens and try to capture it as I see it. I have travelled all over, however I find that sometimes you tend to overlook the treasures in your own backyard. Most of the images you see will have a familiar tone to them, local Southern Cal spots. I am lucky enough to live and work in Laguna Beach which is a daily inspiration and has wonderful people that support the "arts"
