I am a worker, photographer, and writer. I am now working on a counseling masters degree focusing on youth and community, neurology and medication, and underlying genetics.

My photography is my greatest accomplishment. The style is the art of photojournalism, and I also photograph nature with much the same approach.

I try to show life, or tell a story, as it is by connecting with the subjects, or the impressions they have left behind as photograph-able artifacts. There is much empathy in nature, and the beauty of nature, technically speaking aesthetics, tells us that there is love in its creation, and definitely in its animals. My best animal subjects have been birds, and I have a significant beaver project. I am working to create an catalog of animal pictures especially within society's environments, or its artifacts.

Photojournalism, like journalism, has to be real, and not made up. What people expect from it is as artistic as fantasy art because they can use it to insert themselves into the environment that it portrays just as easily as they can insert themselves into a fantasy.

Occasionally the photojournalist has to step away from what is comfortable (and sell-able) and make a critical statements, and often the statement needs to be harsh, as there is some exceedingly harsh activity in the world today.

News: I am exhibiting widely, and selling work! This tremendous, as I never for a moment every expected anybody, let alone lots of people, to get my work :)
