Through my camera lens, I provide a story of the subject that is being seen at that moment in time.  My interest in photography started as a kid when my parents presented me with a film Canon Canonet QL 17 camera. Then as time went on I transitioned to the digital age where I presently shoot with a Nikon camera.   I have always been interested in animals and wildlife, where every Spring, I follow the call of the osprey and photograph their presence in my area.  I also enjoy taking photos of my two pals, the Labs, Gatsby and Ginger. 

There were two trips that I have taken which further inspired my passion for photography.  I have traveled extensively throughout the state of Florida, where the abundance of wildlife is omnipresent. My photographs depict Florida wildlife ranging from the Keys to the Everglades to Sanibel Island and Ding Darling Refuge to Merritt Island to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm.

The second inspiring trip taken was where East Meets West, the beautiful architectural city of Istanbul, Turkey.  In the Summer of 2008, I had the opportunity to tour Istanbul, Turkey, a city that has been influenced by three major empires: the Byzantine, Roman and Ottoman.  When one sets foot here, it is difficult not to be awe-struck viewing the many mosques, churches, palaces, yalis (houses and mansions on the Bosphorus), and these works of art from the empires.  As a photographer, it is a great city for capturing the amazing architecture, culture and array of markets that give this city its aura of enchantment.
