My Background

I've loved taking pictures since I took my first photography class in high school, and I'm inspired by the love I have for my home city.  I have photographed many different subjects, scenes, and moments. There's a picture around every corner.

Photography as Communication

I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print that magic for others to share with me.  My focus is in male photography art, specifically ridding of shame and welcoming acceptance.  My photos tell my story.

Sharing Stories

Through my prints and photo books, I invite you to bring bits of my stories into your life and home.

My Collectors

"And your art captures something that seems to have disappeared from gay life with mainstreaming.  There is a freedom and fun, frolic nature.”

I believe my work is a mirror verse, a window; none of my images photoshop out anything.
