I was interested in both music and photography relatively early on. I began playing guitar and had my first manual camera around the age of 13.

Though I was initially more interested in music in my youth I have always been intrigued by the concept of capturing an image. I still remember the first time I was in a dark room watching my print come alive in the developer, it was one of my greatest thrills.

Without question the entire photographic process had me hooked very early on and luckily I always seemed to have mentors around willing to share their knowledge in both disciplines.
