Freelance work.  Variety of subjects and art.  I have an eye and a great appreciation for beauty.

I aspire to capture the inner essence of my subjects.  I am gradually developing and enhancing my skills & techniques as a photographer and have become a life-long student of the art.  I have worked locally (mostly with new models or those with limited professional experience like myself.  Since I cannot afford to give up my day job, photography will continue to be an important means of artistic expression and vital hobby of mine.  When I eventually retire from my "real job," I plan to enter the photography field full-time.  Five years from now would be ideal.  My intentions and motives are truly constructive.  I am a believer of offering positive criticisms and reinforcement to the contacts I have been fortunate to make here.  I want to thank all the fantastic people I have met on MM since I first became a member.  It is truly a community of extremely talented people.  Thanks to MM, I have already developed a professional network and pledge to abide by its mission and ethical standards.
