Contributing Photographer SELF-BIO For years, my old hand-me-down, circa 1953 Ihagee Exacta 35 mm camera was the primary camera I used to take reference photos for my drawings and paintings. I enjoyed photography; both the technical aspects and the “magic” of the moment the image is captured, but when I purchased my first digital camera, I became hooked. The combination of computer, Photoshop® and the digital camera made photography a "must do" artform I could not resist. Over the years, I have assisted other photographers and, edited, manipulated, and color corrected more photos than I care to admit for them working in weddings, senior pictures, and traditional portraiture. I really like the editing process, and will continue the process of editing and assisting others, but I equally enjoy taking pictures. My excitement in the realm of photography is almost overwhelming. Struggling with my vision as a photographer I couldn’t see myself shooting the kind of work I was doing for others without having serious burn out and intense boredom. I love music, I play the drums, and I really wanted to shoot pictures that excited me. Something I would do if I never needed the money. It was a no brainer; I wanted to shoot pictures for the music and entertainment industry and the fans. |
