Welcome

Welcome to my photoblog. I try to keep it updated daily with a new photo from either my personal or professional life. It is not intended to be taken as my professional portfolio (please visit the main website for that), but instead it is more of an informal and fun way for me to share some of my personality and creativity with you. Many of the photos on my blog are available for purchase as fine art prints, please visit the main website and/or contact me if you are interested. Enjoy!

Starting today I am on vacation for two weeks.

If I do get some time while I'm away and have some WiFi handy I'll try to upload them, or else there will be a mad post frenzy when I get back! Enjoy the next two weeks everyone!
