I learned photography using film cameras (35mm, Medium Format,
and 4X5 Large Format). Learning on film was an awesome exposure
that I am really glad I got to experience. There is nothing like
spending time in the darkroom exposing your print a seeing your
image appear before you in the developer.

I was born and raised right here in
Omaha. I became interested in
Photography during my senior year at
Westside High School. After graduation I
decide to continue studying photography
in college. During college my interests
changed and ended up working towards
a degree in drafting.

After a nearly ten year break, I started
to get the urge to pick up photography
again and I have loved every second of
it. I work full time as a Civil
Engineering Tech and keep the
Photography limited to only things I
enjoy. To me, photography is an Art
and I don't have a lot of desire to shoot
photos just to make a buck.

Today I only shoot digital photos.
While playing around in the dark room
is way more fun than sitting at a
computer, the time and expense just
doesn't make it worth it. My weapon of
choice today is a Canon 5D mk 1. The
camera has worked great for several
year, but I will probably upgrade in the
next year or so... Lets see what Canon
comes out with next!

I often get asked "Is that Photoshoped"
while the technical answer is Yes, I
know what they really mean "Is that
Fake", which the real answer is no. I
don't usually use HDR photography or
any composite photos. There are
situations that come up where I need to
use different techniques for clients.

While I don't use HDR for my personal collection, I don't look down
on those that do. I think a lot of people think Photoshop is only for
making "fake" photos, which couldn't be further from the truth. I also
think that a lot of people don't truly understand how much you could
work with film through out the process from the time you choose
your film at the store all the way through how long you leave your
enlarger on. No matter how you make your photos, its all your Art!

With that said, I look at photography
with a completely open mind. Taking
every art class I could during High
school and College, I have a great
appreciation for all kinds of art. One of
the first thing is learned about
photography was what does the word
"Photography" mean. Break the word in
half. "Photo" & "Graphy"

PHOTO
From the Greek word "phos" which means "light".
GRAPHY
Represents something written or represented in the specified
manner.
Put it to together and you get "Writing with Light"

Next time you look at some
Artist/Photographer's photo, don't think
of it as just a picture made with a little
device, rather think of it as a painting
created using light instead of paint.
Most photographers don't just walk out
and snap a shot and called it a day, we
spend hours thinking, planning, testing
and waiting for just the perfect light.
There are a lot of days we go home
empty handed, but when we get that
one shot that really knocks your socks
off, it makes all the time and effort
worth it!

Is my Photography "Fine Art"? Don't know, don't care! Its what I like.
If you want to call it "Fine Art", great, if not, I don't mind as long as
you got enjoyment out of it. I don't really get tripped up over the
details, I really enjoy what I do, and so far, I have been really lucky
that lots of other people seem to enjoy it too!
Thanks for Checking out my website, If you have not "liked" the
facebook page, feel free to "like" it. Its a great way to see the new
photos as soon as the come out and its also a great opportunity to
tell me how much you love or hate that photo!
