One of the most influential persons in my life other than my parents was Mr. Gordon Parks. He was a pioneer in photography, film and life. It's incredible what we can achieve with determination and will power. Mr. Parks embodied these characteristics and so much more. His body of work is amazingly impressive and worth admiring.

The Process

I've had a love affair with the camera since I was a child. In high school I was lucky enough to attend photojournalism classes. This gave me a great understanding and foundation for the style of photography I enjoy today. After many years as an iron worker it was time to reinvent myself and photography is the path I have chosen.
