This show is dedicated to my wonderful parents.

I owe them the world for all their love, support and encouragement to get this far.

Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father was an avid photographer all through my childhood.

At an early age my parents encouraged my love for travel and sent me on every school trip I was interested in.

For many years I approached photography as a typical tourist with snapshots of the places I would visit. When I was 11, I received my first 35mm before traveling to California. My artistic then began to form.

As I got older, I had always favored the sights of the southwest. In 2004 I was able to live that dream when I traveled to the Four Corners region with Erin, my girlfriend, for a 10 day photo trip. I am proud to show off some of my efforts during this trip.

My interest in the human form stems from my love of natural beauty and being able to combine my landscapes with the body. Many of my models are friends of mine and it has been my joy to help them become works of art.
