I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, during the winter. I didn't discover photography until living in Southeast Asia during a very hot summer. I love the act of creating and giving clarity and vision to a story.
I am a jack of all trades and I am ok with this. There was a time when these kind of people were called renaissance men and not looked down upon. I am wired to create.
I couldn't live without art, stories, curries, sushi, coffee, jazz or my wife & daughter.
A couple of weeks ago my wife joined a bunch of coffee lovin’ freaks for a barista jam. Don’t know what that is? Head over here to read a little bit. (Most of the photos on that website are mine, for what it’s worth) The short version is that a bunch of coffee lovers get together to hear something about coffee, drink coffee, and compete brewing coffee. There’s a lot of caffeine involved.
All photos are sooc minus the black & white conversion.
