Photography – Sacramento
I have been photographing for forever.  I found myself in a darkroom at the age of 13 and never have looked back.  It smells so good in there.  While I do still use film, I have encorperated digital into my life.  However I do not use photoshop.  If you do it all in the camera you dont really need it.  If you have shot a roll of film you know this.  I enjoy mixing processes, for example, a digital negative with a historical process.  I love what I do.  Catching the light or a moment...It is pretty fantastic to  see something, capture it and make someone else feel what you feel.  I suppose I am rambling a bit.  So I will end it with this.  Avedon said \"My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph\" Which I can not find more true.  So look at my work, it will explain me much better then I ever could here.
