About the author

As a child, have you ever watched a commercial about a product that you’d do anything for and just couldn’t afford? An item that you desired so much that nothing else compared and nothing else could satisfy the want. A want so great that it warrants a person to save every months allowance to posses it. The feeling materialized many times through my life. From the Laser tag set with the gun, vest and sensor in my youth to a pair of Technics 1200s M3Ds with a Vestax PMC Pro mixer in my teens to a Peter Line Forum Brand Snowboard in my college years and to finally Two Nikon Cameras and thousands of dollars worth of lenses and too much gear to mention. As you can see, my interests grew in substance by age. Photography was the only hobby where I experienced the most gratification in the work produced. The many praises from my peers and clients of my creativity and skill in communicating the concept pushed me to the edge of pure satisfaction in my craft. The fulfillment I receive in creating compelling creative images and capturing special moments on a wedding day compares to nothing else. So, I set aside my laser tag set, Dj gear and on a few occasions my snowboard for my passion in photography.
