If my photos have a mission, it is this: capture everyday scenes and environments and present them in an interesting way. My images are not of the “touristy” variety though they may be of tourist destinations. I shoot what I like, what catches my eye, and what draws my interest. I use my camera as the extension of both what I see in front of me, and what I see in the final image (B&W).

I use a photographic process known as HDR in a number of my images, including some of the black & white ones, which gives them the saturated look that is not typical in everyday photos.

Whether it is a known landmark (Main Street Station), a building (The Capital) you pass by every day, or a street you walk down, there are always views of the scene that I hope to capture that are fresh and unique, and that draw you into the image. To see those things you know but have grown used to, and to remind you of those you have missed in your daily travels.

I have been told on a couple of occasions that “I make Richmond Look Good”, I hope that after viewing my photos you will come away with that same sentiment. And not only for my Richmond photos, but for my Non-Richmond photos as well.
