I got into photography based on 2 strong influences: the first being my father who gave me my first camera and inspiration when I was in my early teens and the 2nd came when I was in Prattville High School (in Alabama) in my Junior year thanks to the efforts of Mr. Keith Golsan, our Yearbook advisor and also the head of the Drama Department. I learned early on that a photographer can gain access to places and even people in unique ways; and for a guy who was never too sure of himself until later in life, the camera has allowed me to grow and and express my particular point of view in a unique way.

In 1994 I made the move from Alabama to New Hampshire and have never looked back. I am constantly amazed by the changing scenery and people-scapes around me. I have had many wonderful opportunities come to me through photography and I am pleased to share in some of my favorite images.

This first color photo is me (while still a high school student) at Thomas Jefferson's home Monticello--it is one of the first pictures of me with a camera "at work". The other photos are just various aspects of me -showing the cheerleaders how to pose, a photo with Governor George C. Wallace of Alabama, photographing first with the Pixy Division of a National Photography Company, then working with MacLean-Stevens Studios formerly out of Concord, New Hampshire; and then mucking around in the ruins of Wyndcliffe or other forms of urban exploration.

The final 2 photos are just for fun. The first is from Provincetown, MA with Varla Jean Merman, and the second is at the Barnstable County Fair out on Cape Cod.
