Thank you for taking the time to come and look at my work. This is my passion, its all I have ever known. Most text books will tell you that a bio should be written in the 3rd person, thats just not me. I am personable, I am interested in you and I want you to be interested in me. Writing about my life in the 3rd person just doesn't seem to make sense if we want to be friends. I graduated from Fitchburg State College in 2001 with a degree in communications media. I'd like to say I never use what I learned in school, but it just wouldn't be true.
I received a very classical technical education in photography, I learned about FILM. I have translated that knowledge across the digital divide and now throughly enjoy the new media that is digital photography. But frankly I care less about pixels and more about people. I try to tell a story with each assignment, with each image. Thats the beauty of a photograph, its just a moment that would have passed by so quickly that you might not have even seen it... but now you can look at it and remember those feelings anytime you wish.
That is my mission, to make those fleeting moments stand for all eternity. To share with future generations. I can't wait to meet and talk about your event weather its a wedding, bar/bat mitzvah or a family portrait...
Every now and again I get to go back, to revisit a happy occasion with a family, its a big perk for this job. This family is so much fun to party with, to laugh with, to play with! This time its the middle child’s turn, the only girl to have her special day. I can’t wait, 4 more years until the last one, and then maybe a wedding?
I shoot a fair amount of bar/bat mitzvah’s and for the most part the bat (girls) mitzvah’s are more into pictures. Its a generalization but for the most part true, and this bar mitzvah boy was no exception. He asked every 5 minutes from the time I started when he was done. Well this picture was taken quite by accident as i was doing something else i swung my camera around and i just saw it and hit the button at the exact right moment… my favorite shot of the day.
