I have been a Nature photographer since I studied graphic design and art in college. Then, I would spend a day shooting pictures with film and another day in a darkroom seeing what I actually captured. It has always been a hobby of mine, bringing me wonderful unexpected surprises and great satisfaction.

Digital photography has opened new ways to shoot photographs, manipulate and enhance the imagery. I enjoy exploring the technology and the new ways it allows me to present the images I shoot. Enhancing colors, contrasts and using photo software tools to create, "Photo Paintings", as I refer to them. This is a new kind of medium, I am still exploring and learning about everyday.
