Often imitated… never duplicated!

“Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.”
- Berenice Abbott
Some say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  I, however, happen to agree with old Berenice.  As a photographic artist, I continually strive to develop my own unique ideas, approaches [...]

We MOVED!

The first haircut…

Life for a little one is full of firsts… first car ride, first bath, first tooth, first step, and of course… the first hair cut.  I put it off as long as I could.  For those of you that know Cooper well, know he has adorable fluffy toe head hair.  Amazingly blond, and after a [...]

Getting more exposure! (no pun intended)

I took my camera to class with me the other day to show my friend Lisa. She shares my interest in photography. After class I talked her into letting me take a few photos of her. I’m going to introduce her to one of my work friends, but wanted to have them exchange pictures first. [...]
