I live by a philosophy that involves making choices to do things I enjoy, and that philosophy has me taking quite a few photos.  I'm an entrepreneur and a tech nerd, a travel junkie and a storyteller.  I used to be a professional photographer, but the grind of having to shoot even when inspiration wouldn't come, working with with uninteresting subjects in boring settings killed the magic for me.  Now I shoot for concepts that interest me and with people who want to be there as much as I do.  I make less money doing it that way, but money is easy if you love what you're doing.

The current photo project is proofs for a project on lower-back tattos.  Does society's impression of the tattoo jive with reality?  The only way I can think to find out is to talk to lots of women with lower-back tattoos.  Check out pictures and details in my port and on my website if you're interested. 

Additionally, I'm interested in select conceptual shoots that are as varied as there are models to shoot, so if you're interested in something specific, chances are, I'd be interested in shooting it.  I'm also in the market for a new photo muse - that person whose face populates the projects as I imagine them, upon whose frame hang the trappings of creativity.  That someone is open-minded, spontaneous and has "that look," whatever it turns out to be this time.

I swear more than I probably should, I don't try to hook up with models and I think, talk and make decisions fast.  I'm also a huge nerd.  I build most of my own props and paint my own green screens - I like working with my hands on practical things as much as or more than making art or taking pictures.
