Architectural Photography



Architecture is one of my favorite photographic subjects. It doesn't squirm. It doesn't need make-up. It is always in a good mood. I like the mathmatics of architecture and its multitude of fuctions in our culture. Whether it's the old relics of Europe, or the modern skycrapers of New York, I find the angles and curves mesmerizing, much like viewing a beautiful woman or a well-chisled man.

The World of Composing




I have to admit that I don't have alot of formal musical training. I've dabbled a bit with theory, but I don't really have the patience to study music formally. I compose by ear, largely putting together sounds that seem cohesive to me. With jazz vocals, I prefer to improvise, and enjoy being given phrases left to my own interpretation. It works for me. What more can I say?

The World of Travel


As a freelance writer and photographer, I've had the opportunity to visit a number of remarkable places. Some of these include Barbados, Bora Bora, Bahamas, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Ireland, England, Wales, France and Mexico. Over the past 3 years, I've been writing about several of them, combining my photography with my stories. Traveling fundamentally alters anyone who is open to the experiences travel has to offer. I always find that I am amended in some way whenever I have the opportunity to get out of the country.
