About Me

Have been shooting with Nikon SLR's since 1968! yep that is not a typo! So yes I am fairly experienced, LOL!
I have a very broad spectrum of interest photographically from commercial to fashion, to portraits, to landscape, to action sports, to wildlife, to weddings (did more of these in the mid 70's, only do a few a year now), to first communions, have contracts with Bay area venture capital co's, high tech co's, realtors, etc.
Have had many commercial clients, Ampex, Philips, Scitex Digital Video, Accom, Abekas, USVP, School of Healing touch, CA Dept. of Fish & Game. You can find my work in many books, from horse care to gardening to Berlitz Cantonese, books on Archery, Pheasant hunting, children's books on Turkey's, the list grows monthly.
Web sites like Encyclopedia Britannica, British castles, The National Park Service, Fodor's travel, Moon's travel, Hayward4Hayward, the city of Hayward, just to mention a few, local TV stations have used my work and I have won several Telly awards (Yes I also do videography/directing/editing).

I have two particular interests, photographically speaking: Eyes - because they are the window to the soul, and because anything and everything that a person has in their personality is expressed in their eyes.

The other area of particular interest is people of ethnicity and older people.

Always interested in helping models create or expand their portfolio's, and love the barter system!

I rarely do nudes, but when I do, I am interested in the classic art look, more of an illustration of form, line and the sensuality of the female body.

I have a 1000 sq ft studio in the Green Bluff area of Colbert, just outside of Spokane situated at 400ft above the valley on 11 acres, very private setting, great for outdoor shoots.

Recently moved from the Bay Area to Spokane area.
