About Me

It feels like I have been around the Camera for as long as I can remember. During my early years, I was either posing for my dad (a photographer himself) or assisting him behind the camera. Back then, it was a chore. I did it because I had to do it.


It was not until 1996 that I started doing it myself. I have since been enjoying it as well. These days, I am simply obsessed with it. I live, drink, eat, sleep and even dream with it, about it.


I have always believed that the Camera is a defective unit - It only captures what the hardware allows it to. It has far too many limitations, and simply cannot create the image that the mind sees. I post process all my images using computer software to present a view of my heart, rather than my eyes.

To maintain the highest standards, I am personally involved in all the creative aspects of producing and presenting my work. I have a complete digital workflow from capture through post-processing. I print on Archival grade papers using HP Vivera Inks (rated for 200+ years of print permanence) on HP Fine Art Printers. Each photograph is mounted and matted using Archival grade acid free boards and gallery styled frames.
