My first photograph was taken in the wading pool in Overton Park, when I was around 6 years old. My Father set up his Rolleiflex on a tripod, and asked me to take a picture of him and my 2 brothers. I loved pushing the button.
I got my first 35mm camera, when I was a student at UCLA , studying Design. It traveled many miles with me, and I still have it. I studied film photography in Graduate School at the University of Memphis. However, I don't shoot film anymore. All of my work now is digital .
My favorite thing to photograph is nature. That is when I am most happy because I love being in nature, around trees and water. I have a series of images of the 2008 flood of the Mississippi River in Green Belt Park, in Memphis. And I have been photographing the bald cypress trees in Lake Wapanocca for the last four years in Arkansas.
I have done Editorial Photography for Memphis Magazine, Towery Publishing, and for Northwest Air's Passages.
My Event Photography has included Memphis International Film Festival; Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure; Friends for Life; and Live in the Garden.
I am also a Location Scout and Manager. This form of photography has included Annie Leibovitz's Stax Reunion photography for Vanity Fair ; The movie: O' Brother Where Art Thou? ; and American Experience: Fatal Flood - a documentary for PBS.
My passions include global travel (lived 4 years in Kenya), nature (especially beaches and woods), and Art and Cinema.
