I started taking pictures when I was a kid but didn't know anyone or have an outlet to develop my skills. Luckily I come from a creative family and I learned music instead. I then went to college and received a degree in psychology from MU and then I worked in IT for several years.
I didn't pick up photography again until things went digital. After all, being an IT guy, it's just another gadget :). I then started to take photography more seriously and I realized I saw things in a different way that I could show people through photography.
I use many techniques to accomplish that; Digital and film; Color and B&W; Holga and other (mostly older) medium format cameras; sometimes loaded with smaller film to expose the whole film.
I've been doing art shows for the past several years and I love being part of a creative community again.
