My mantra is "Don't take pictures, make photographs." When one works at making a photograph, the subjects can speak in their own voice. What results is hopefully more than just a picture of something, but a photograph that is something.

The complex machinery of my grandfather's cameras and the mystery of the photographic process ignited my fascination with the medium. Life and Vogue became my first look at the revolutionary influence of photographic masters.

At an early age, a paper route was a vehicle to earn money for the first camera. Soon, a home darkroom helped spool the tangled threads of experience into useful technique. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Detroit's prestigious College for Creative Studies, professional photography in New York City and Detroit further polished my work.

My gratitude for all the mentors who have shared their experience is expressed by striving to create not just pictures, but photographs.
