I am a former Freelance Photojournalist (1972-1984 {yeah I'm THAT old}) from the Philadelphia area now doing Event, Art, Fashion, & Documentary photography. My style utilizes my photojournalistic background and ability to 'capture the moment'.
I am available for portfolio, portrait, and retouching/finishing work also at very reasonable rates and my work is guaranteed.
RETOUCHING/POST-PRODUCTION RATES $30/Hr billed in 15 minute increments to a maximum of $80/image or $200/day whichever is less.
All work is non-destructive, performed on calibrated workstations, and returned in layered TIF, PSD, or PSPIMAGE for maximum compatibility with your editing software.

in case you do not see my post about the Dead Bugs - I live in area and we use to play punch buggy when driving (for the youngsters you punch closest person when you drive past a bug) we use to drive past this lot and beat the shit out of each other... what was best, when a friend never been down that road before he knew it he was being pummeled... thanks for the great memory! this was over 18 years ago we did this... I think it is time to take my kids by the lot :)
