I love the outdoors, the landscape of water and mountains. This page showcases my photography and designs. Creativity is the way I express myself best. My focus has been on the following photographic genres:
Architectural - Nature (Landscape, Flora, Botanical) - Photojournalism/Documentary - Travel - Street Photography - Still Life - Stage and Set (Live Music Performance) - Commercial (Public Rela
tions, Product Photography, Marketing). As a young teenager, I always carried a pocket film camera to capture moments. At 13 years old, I got my first SLR Camera, a Minolta XG-1. Inspired by Ansel Adams's black-and-white photography, I had a makeshift photo lab in the bathroom, developing film and enlarging prints. Armed with a Graphic Design degree, I began my professional journey in Frankfurt, Germany. My responsibilities included large photo printing, trade show displays, light displays, press photos, product photography, screen printing, pre-press, and film development. I refined my skills in digital imaging and printing, moving forward with technology. In 1998, I relocated to Seattle, Washington, where I began a career in Software Quality Assurance. During my free time, I explore the area with my camera. I love the outdoors, the landscape of water and mountains, and everything in between. I live in Everett, WA since 1999.
