LET ME TELL YOU A STORY... 

​

In fifth grade, my sister took me to an audition for a community theater production in our hometown. I had no intention of auditioning and had never been interested in participating in a play before, but somehow, she convinced me to try anyway. 

​

Little did I know that my first play would launch me into a world of dramatic storytelling that carried me from one end of the country to another six times, pursuing a creative life. No matter where I went, I carried three things: a guitar, a copy of the book The Neverending Story, and a camera. All three are still with me today. They are the supporting cast in my story and some of my most excellent companions. But that's a story for another time.

​

The same year I beat my sister out for a role in that play, I saw a portrait of the artist Keith Haring by Annie Leibovitz. That photo sparked a love affair with making pictures and telling stories. As an avid people watcher and daydreamer, the camera transports me onto a private film set, where I'm the director, capturing moments as they happen.  

​

Over the years, I found work both in front of and behind the camera in various areas of film and television, but I never quite achieved the dream. However, I never lost my passion for storytelling. Today, it is the core of my photography.
