Lewisburg, WV
A recent resident of West Virginia, I am original to the Midwest/Great Lakes area of Ohio. My passion for photography stemmed from an early inspiration in junior high school upon learning of the passing of Ansel Adams. Seeing his pieces for the first time, I was amazed at what photography could be. Going further, I studied other artists, painters, sculptors, photographers, to develop my own style. Mostly a landscape photographer, I have been venturing into photographing people. Being somewhat introverted, the challenge has been monumental but very rewarding. Currently only an avocation, my ambition is to retire into a life of creative photography.
