MY favorite photographs
are ones that express a moment caught in time, or ones that capture
someone's true personality in a single frame. Human beings change
expressions from moment to moment. I love it when they forget
that I am nearby and one of those special moments in time is caught
on camera forever. Of course, in Portrait photography, people
don't usually forget that I am there, but I can still capture
the essence of their personality and make moments that become
good memories as well as good portrait.I always work in a location
that helps the people being photographed feel comfortable. We
have fun together, laugh, and end the session feeling that we
have just spent some time with good friends. I find that the more
relaxed someone is, the more likely that I will be able to capture
the special twinkle in someone's eye that makes them the truly
unique person that they are.As a motorcycle enthusiast, my other
favorite thing to photograph is a motorcycle. Capturing a custom
Harley, chopper, cruiser, vintage, or speed bike on camera and
showing off the art and craftsmanship that makes up a truly beautiful
bike is a special passion of mine. The relationship between a
bike and its rider can be a challenge to photograph, but some
of my favorite shots are portraits that truly show that relationship
and the special personality of a rider. I started photography
with friends and just things that caught my interest when I was
10 years old at the Columbia Park Boys Club in San Francisco.
It was a wonderful hobby
for many years; however, I finally decided that it was time to
take it seriously. I found a mentor in Vincent Isola and have
worked as an assistant and then a photographer for him at Genesis
Photography since 1997. In January of 2005, I went out on my own
as photographer and started doing another type of photography
that I really love - Photo Journalism. This type of photography
lends itself most naturally to photographing events.I build this
web site to share my photographs with you for your enjoyment and
information. If you are looking for someone to capture those special
moments that make up a truly memorable event or if you want a
portrait done that really reflects who you are please contact
us.Whether photographing
an event or a portrait session, I will give you a wide variety
of images to choose from. These images can then be viewed on-line
from the comfort of your home or office. You, or anyone that you
choose, can then purchase any, or all, of the images in whatever
size or quantity suits your needs. We are located in the City
of Martinez, 33 miles northeast of San Francisco, California.
