I am a self-taught amatuer photographer. I have been into photography for about a year as of January 2010, and as with all the passions in my life, I am learning very quickly. I have been a digital artist for many years now. I have a strong love for both art and photography. There is no better feeling than looking through the view finder and capturing a special or beautiful moment, that will live on forever.

Nature and Wildlife photography are my main passions in photography, but I enjoy offering my services in portaiture as well. I also enjoy the challenge of airshow photography, and hope to attend more such events in the future. I use HDR Photography techniques in a lot of my work, and am able to offer extensive touch up and manipulation work in my portrait photography, thanks to my extensive background in digital art.

On February 18, 2010 I launched www.picnook.com. Picnook is a quickly growing Photography community where photographers from around the world are coming together and sharing their work and making new friends. If you have a passion for photography, then you are invited to come join the community. If you aren't a photographer, but enjoy viewing nice photography, then you are welcome to come browse the many galleries of wonderful work on display from our growing number of members from around the world.

I enjoy hearing the feedback of those who visit my site, and welcome you to drop me any feedback you may wish to share.

Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day to visit, and for allowing me to share some of my captured moments with you. I encourage you to pursue whatever your passion is in life.
