I have a BA in film, which qualifies me to say ACTION and CUT. So I got a paying job as a TV photojournalist. After years of shooting house fires, school board meetings and kite festivals, I was promoted to a desk job. Shooting was good to me. I won kudos from the AP, UPI, Gannett Co., National Press Photographer's Assoc., and even the Emmys. I enjoyed the opportunities to show off my photojournalisticism (yes, made up word) and I missed that. So I got me a Nikon, and now I produce images with my D70 for fun and profit. Well, profit may be a generous term. I still have to keep my day job, if I wanna send my impossibly wonderful daughter to college some day. I take my camera with me on my travels, and try to shoot stuff that I think is cool, in a cool way. Artisitc philosophy? Emotive vision? I dunno. More like a work in progress, still evolving from basic photojournalism, to something that I hope resembles art. *I* like my photographs, and I hope others do too…especially if they are liked well enough to find a home on the walls of someone's home or office. As a matter of fact, I have had some paying clients: The Austin City Store (Austin) Westbank Gallery (Austin) The Wyndham Hotel (Austin) Williams Interiors (Lubbock) Orbit Salon (Austin) Eiland Interiors (Baton Rouge) Aesthetic Dental (Austin) and many other customers who've bought prints for their personal spaces at home. Thanks for stopping by, and for tolerating my little attempt at capitalsim. If inspired, please help send my daughter to college…buy a photo. Thanks, and stay groovy!
