1995-Present  

 I became interested in the art of photography after becoming impatient with painting and sketching.  In the beginning, I never took it seriously but read every photography related book in the Main Fulton County Library branch in Atlanta, Georgia.  There wasn't a preference as to the types of photography books I read because I reached a point where I was just fascinated by it.

 I studied fashion, portrait, landscape, and architectural photography.  I was touched by the moments captured by Herni Cartier-Bresson and Charles "Teenie" Harris, moved by the landscapes of Ansel Adams and Georgia O'Keefe, and intrigued by the fashion images of Richard Avedon and Herb Ritts.  I found myself drawn more to black and white photos because it reminded me of sketching and because of its classic look.

 I capture life as I see it, as we see it in its everyday essence.  Art is my love, and love is my art.  The appreciation for the medium has grown over the years.  I never imagined being at the point I am today, but realize there's much more work to do.  I'm thankful for the God-given talents, the ability to use them, the support of my family and friends, The New Pittsburgh Courier , and The Silver Eye Center for Photography for giving me an opportunity to show my work to a larger audience.
