Moments. Short
but memorable places or faces in time passed-- the very
fabric of our lives is comprised of moments. I have always
felt that a good photographer doesn’t simply capture
a moment, but creates moments to be captured. That is what
I do, and I happen to love it.An inborn innate curiosity
of all things visual led me into a career in photography.
For 10 years I plodded away quite successfully in sales
and marketing, but was never really satisfied due to my
creativity being stifled in a world of quotas and profit
margins. And then one day I decided to take the leap, a
leap that turned out to be a wonderfully enlightening journey.
. Based in New York City, I was able to work with extremely
talented artists and vanguard creative individuals on projects
ranging from international advertising campaigns to simple
portraits. It became clear to me early on in my photography
career that the exciting people and artistic creativity
I encountered on a daily basis were what really stimulated
me. Being a professional photographer also enabled me to
travel the globe several times over, taking me to fascinating
and exotic parts of the world I’d only dreamt of exploring.
The
events of September 11, 2001 gave us cause to think. Living in
Manhattan that day and the months and years to follow, I had plenty
of time to do a lot of reflecting. What kept coming to my mind was family.
So it was with little regret and even less fanfare that I left New York
City last year, and made my triumphant return home to the city and state
where I was Moments… glorious moments. There’s nothing I enjoy more. They’re what I live for. Would you like to make one? I’d enjoy nothing more.
