OK.. The first post is kind of the irrational and emotional self opinion of my work, here is my attempt to be a little bit more professional about it:

I come from a mom and a dad that have always been interested in photography. In truth, its amazing that it didn't catch on quicker with me, but I guess waiting has never been my strong suit, and since my earlier days would have meant that I'd have to photograph on film, I'd never have the patience to wait to see how they came out on the negatives or on paper.

About 9 years ago Panasonic came out with their first digital cameras, and I was doing tech support for fax machines. Most of our support was PC based, but they didn't want to totally leave Apples/Macs out. I was the only one at the company that knew anything about Apple/Macintosh computers at the time, so I helped back them up on support issues with those computers.

After doing that for about a year and a half, new cameras came out, and they needed more support for the digicams, so they sent me my first call without any warning. From that point on, I did my best to make sure that I fully understood the ins and outs of those cameras, and eventually of photography.

About the time that Panasonic started releasing its new Leica lens and superzoom cameras, I started working my way up to team leader, and eventually lead technician. As the lead technician I took it upon myself to not only learn the technical aspects of photography, but the artistic aspects as well.

I have since started photographing nature, macros, bands and live events, parties, models. I also teach evening classes in digital photography in Bucks County, PA.

I need to find some paying jobs so I can get better equipment to get even better paying jobs, and also to be able to do some of the projects I have in mind.

I'd like to do a photography humor project, a sci-fi/fantasy project, a horror project, and a few other stories that I envision as almost being like movies or music videos, except I want to photograph them.

Anyway, as you check out my other weblink or see the stuff I post here, I hope you like it, and feel free to say Hi any time!
