In the midst of all the yawns in various offices, I determined what I really love to do is play music and take photographs. This led me to Vashon Island, WA, where I have finally found the creative community I adore.


Influences:
Is it possible that photography can be influenced by music? Music by photography? If so, then I would cite The Who, Jaco Pastorious, Neil Young, and Mozart as major influences. And of course, Ansel Adams must be on my list. But really, it's Mother Nature herself who drives my passion for capturing light; both inside and out. There's never a dull moment in her world, and I feel blessed to be a part of it, honored to observe, flattered to participate.


Studies and Interests:
I love maps, and this led me to my degree program in college. I'm lucky enough to be able to apply them regularly in the wild austere places on this beautiful planet we live on. I love to run, sail, socialize, play music, snap shutters, and connect with people.
Paradoxically, I also love solitude and the peacefulness of a solo nap in the sun on a winter's day, my book idly forgotten in my lap, the tea cooling at a pace all its own.
