In the age of multiple cameras within an arm's reach at any time between tablets, phones, and beyond I feel the term "Photographer" has a much different meaning now than ever before. Holding a paintbrush does not make you a painter. Just simply means you know how to hold a brush. The same holds true for photography. For me, photography is a process of both technical skill and the artistic/creative manipulation of light and composition meant to capture the true essence of a moment in time that can never be truly duplicated again. I prefer to work in the Black and White realm as I feel it allows you to let your imagination run wild on what the moment was like, what the location was like, and have your own emotional connection to any given image. My goal is to produce deep, thought-provoking imagery that allows you to connect with each image in your own way.
