"Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be." Duane Michals (American Photographer, 1932-Present)

	Even though photography has been around for quite some time, it is still largely undefined. Naturally, advancements in technology help to keep limitations out of the picture. I like to take advantage of the new advancements; however, I also like to kick it old school on occasion. Before I really got into photography, I was under the impression that a good picture only required a good camera. I think a lot of people have that misconception. The truth is that it requires a lot of skill, experience, as well as quality lenses and lighting instruments. As far as my style, I largely like to remain undefined; however there are a few principles that I have adopted. For one, I like to have a well defined subject, or group of subjects. I also like to isolate subjects from their surroundings. The most important thing for me though is that the picture triggers an emotion form the viewer. Can I do fancy stuff in photoshop? I have been working with programs like Lightroom and Photoshop for several years. I have had training from 2 colleges, as well as from many professionals. That being said, most of my workflow is pretty basic. I use to do more artwork to my photos; however, there comes a time when a photographer needs to decide if they are a graphic artist first or second. I began to work extensively with films in 2009, and that brought me back around to the basics.
