My passion of photography began in High School on the yearbook staff. Once out of High School, I sold cameras at a small camera shop in the Detroit area. I studied Photography in College, and during that time I opened my own studio with a couple of partners. We specialized in tabletop product photography. We mixed in as many phases of photography we could. Some of our clients included Ford Motor Company and Spartan Food Stores.
I moved on to assisting for a top Architectural Photographer in the Detroit area for 4 years. Clients ranged from world-renowned residential architects, interior designers, and nationwide commercial contractors. I then took a position with a large construction company as a corporate Photographer.
I spent the next 4 years photographing everything from architecture, portraits, and specialized studio photography all while driving through 44 different states. This was all prior to digital cameras so it was done with a 4x5 view camera and film that had to be overnighted to the lab!! I got married during that 4 year stretch - and, with a growing family, the hectic pace of very heavy traveling, it became too overwhelming.
I enjoy photographing sports, portraits and still-life. Please take a look at my photo galleries. I am based in Caro, Michigan. Thanks for visiting my site -and - please contact me if you are interested in capturing memories in your life.
