Born in San Francisco, as a young lad I kept myself busy sucking the mercury from broken thermometers and playing with imaginary friends in old abandoned chemical warehouses. Both my parents were artists and met in my father’s stained glass class in the late 60’s. I spent my early years witnessing the creative renaissance that the 80’s brought to the Bay area. Once I grew older I had free reign to explore the city and its wonders by hopping buses and riding my skateboard; barreling down steep hills, smoking shoe rubber creating a toxic cloud behind me.
I love people. The person that gets my attention unaware and reminds me of how precious the great mystery of life really is; that is why I have a passion for portrait and street photography. I love capturing the random street shot of just the right person on just the right corner and talking to someone who I might otherwise not have. It brightens my day to walk away with the added perspective these encounters give me. I believe in those little reminders, they are what help keep the magic alive within us, the wonder that keeps us young. On the other side however I love shooting the human intensity of a modeled composition and the creative possibilities that creates. Photography can create such significance from such simplicity.
It was a pleasure working with you guys! Thanks again :D

Ben! Good to see you on here. I added your MM number to the photo on my page.
Keep me in mind if you ever feel the urge to shoot some more muscles. :-)
