In The Beginning…


I am not, as some might say, professionally trained. Having spent more than half my life exploring the creative side of things I realized (decided to stop stalling) to share what I love and how I view the world with the public. Now, I have shared in limited fashion for a few years but dabbling and being serious are two completely different things. Time to be serious, or well, as serious as I can be. 

At 14 I started writing. Everything from poetry to short stories to almost completed novels and screenplays. With all the ideas floating around in my head I had to find a constructive way to get them out. Writing made me happy and I was good at it. Then I was published in a small local literary magazine. 

At the age of 24, just a couple months after my dad unexpectedly passed away I wrote one last piece that I submitted to a contest in Glamour Magazine about something that changed my life. I wrote about losing my dad. Then the words died.

The creativity however did not die. It still required an outlet. My dad like the few pictures I had taken.  And photography was a different kind of creativity. That summer, June of 2004 I bought my first digital camera.

The rest is history.
