Photography has been my full time profession since 1972. I recently relocated to New Orleans after a forty year career in Detroit, Michigan, which included working as a news photographer, a corporate photographer, and a photography instructor at a community college. I am excited about the possibilities that await me here.
I love what I do. I love to shoot and I have a lot of fun at it, but I also take my work very seriously. Part of the reason my career has lasted this long is because of the quality of my work. Another reason is that I deliver on my word and I treat people with respect and a professional attitude. I expect the same from the people I work with.
If you like what you see here I hope you'll contact me. I'm certain that I can offer high quality work that will enhance your portfolio. I will do TFCD, but very selectively.
If you're going to send a friend request, at least take the time to comment on my work or send me a message. Otherwise I won't respond. I'm not here to collect friends.

Every time we shoot, I think it can't get better than this. And every time you prove me wrong. This stuff we shot with Sexy Ladi is unbelievable!
