Portland, Oregon

Statement:

Playing with digital photography has been a real eye-opening experience for me.  This past summer, my creative energy is driving me towards sports photography and more specifically in the areas of women, gays and lesbians with my WOMEN IN MOTION series. 

My next series will involve a October 2008 traveling adventure to the East Coast and Midwest and will be capturing some of the simple subjects and life in the area.  Stayed tuned.....

Background:

I studied Fine Art and Graphic Arts for a few years back in the late 70's at Central Missouri State University.  My final year the school just started having nude models. Well, that tells me something.  My rebirth expression of creativity began a year ago....... 

Upcoming Events:

October 2008 Travel Show

Showings:

Photography Show at The Egyptian Club in Portland, Oregon
