As the song goes, my background has been a "little bit Country, a little bit Rock 'n Roll." Having grown up in Kentucky, that setting sparked my affinity for nature. Later on I moved to New York city and pursued a career in the travel industry. Now I'm blessed to be exploring South Florida's beauty. Photography has taught me to live in the moment, as even the simplest outing can become an adventure full of the unexpected. Although I employ a digital camera, I still strive to capture the best possible image from the start, in order to minimize any adjustments made afterward. I look for glimpses of nature or other subjects that illustrate a certain joyous beauty and resiliency.
