Photography is a great creative outlet for me. I have always enjoyed it since I was a teenager. Stock photography has given me the opportunity to grow as a photographer and to upgrade my equipment. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me by leaving a message or comment on one of my photos.

The majority of my photos dated prior to 1/01/2007 where taken with a Nikon D70. Photos after 1/01/2007 taken with a Nikon D200. Lenses: 18-70mm Nikor lens, Tamron 90mm Macro lens, Sigma 80-400mm telephoto lens with optical stabilization, Tokina 12-24mm wide angle lens and a set of Kenko extension tubes. Lighting: SB-800 Nikon flash unit and a Flashpoint softbox strobe for studio work. All photos processed using the latest version of Photoshop, currently I'm using CS4.

Houses , cars, nature, particularly waterfalls. Object photos aimed for stock purposes. Macro work. I also love to do isolations in photoshop. One of my specialties are isolated car photos.
