TITLE: Glimpse of Freedom

From a photo session in Joshua Tree with model Vivian Cove.

Much of my CREATIVE work has centered around water, introspection, and emerging from darkness into light. Long moments of silence and self-reflection stand out as defining or favored memories, with water used in moments of renewal, and light in communion with the spirit.

I grew up in Pennsylvania and in 2005 moved to Arizona where I’m rarely cold and don’t have to shovel snow or cut grass.

I graduated from Bucknell University with a major in English and a minor in Chemistry. I worked at Barnes & Noble for four years where my greatest achievement was becoming “that guy.” (There’s a story there for later.)

Currently I pay the bills as a nuclear medicine technologist. (Sounds impressive right? You put nuclear in front of anything and it sounds good. Nuclear Dog Food? Awesome!) This lets me write and photograph on the side without having to resort to living on ramen and sleeping on friends’ couches. (In fairness I do like ramen and some of my friends have very comfortable couches).

The rest of my time is devoted to my various cats (1 indoor, 3 outdoor as of the time of this writing.)

My ultimate dream would be to visit Mars.
