A spirited mind
behind the lens

What led to my desire to immortalize everything through photography comes from my dad. Now a retired police officer, while on the force photography became a stress relief on his days off. From my early years, there was always some photography equipment around the house — cameras, lenses, books and even a wide collection of antique cameras.

I received my first point-and-shoot camera before I was even 10 years old, shooting black and white film. Later came a Pentax 35mm, then various point-and-shoots as the years and technology evolved.

Fast forward to late 2016 — as a present to myself for a milestone birthday, I acquired a Canon T6s with an 18–135mm kit lens to get me going again. As my dad before me, photography has become an effective stress relief and good therapy from professional life. I focus mainly on landscape, wildlife, travel photography and the occasional portrait.
