A Photographer

A while back someone once asked me why I do photography. This caught me a little off guard as I never really thought about why I do it. It's just something that is so much a part of my life that I cannot imagine being without a camera in hand. Even while simply walking down the street I find myself unconsciously examining the quality and direction of light.

Photography allows me to capture something that would not normally be seen. Maybe it's a different perspective or distortion caused by a lens, or a manipulation of natural or artificial light. Photography also captures that one moment that will never be seen again.

All of the people I've met and places I've traveled have changed my life. I look back at my photographs and those moments come back into vivid reality. This site is an attempt to share these experiences with you. So come on in and take a look around. Feel free to drop me an email or post a comment.

Flamenco a Traves de Ti

There’s something about flamenco that really connects with me. Maybe it’s the rhythms or the dancing or the sheer passion and intensity. Whatever it is, I always feel moved after a performance, and this night was no exception. Here are some photos of Antonio Rey, Mara Rey and Pedro el Granaino from Spain.
