Photographic Resume
I’ve been shooting since I was a young child, using ancient, amateur cameras that turned in some very poor photos. Yes, I’m blaming the tool! The first big turning point came when I was fifteen, living on Maui, and my Dad gave me a pre-owned 35 mm Olympus SLR with a set of lenses. The next big moment came in 2007, when my wife got me hooked on digital photography with a little Sony point and shoot. Today, I mostly work with a Canon 6D Mark II DSLR.
In recent years, I began entering photography shows, with a selection of results shown below.
