about
My main photographic goal is and has always been simple; push and explore the limits of the medium by any means possible.
I started taking photographs in 1988. I continue to this day.
Life is too short for banal, trite and hackneyed images.
I would much rather see a poorly crafted photo that showcases style than a perfect image that shows no creativity.
