I’m a 40-Something year old male (that ought to cover me for a while), living in the beautiful island of Barbados. My background is in aviation/IT/innovation, and I have long had an active interest in photography.

I received my first camera as a gift from my uncle when I was about 7 years old. It was a Kodak camera that took 110 film, and used square flash cubes. As I earned pocket money I purchased more and more film and persuaded my parents to develop the images that I took.

After a lapse I got my first SLR while in college, it was an Olympus OM-1 that went to Vietnam and I still have it today. At that time I attended an aviation college and shot a lot of air-shows and also beach pictures. Fortunately my friend worked at beach photo and was able to develop all my film at extremely favorable rates. There's little automatic about the Olympus. But when used properly it takes great pictures. I still have it and keep it loaded for any black and white 35mm photography I may be inspired to do.

After college, I ventured into the world of the Internet, but the lure of creating visual images through photography beckoned me, and once again I picked up my camera and started taking more serious photographs.

In 2003, I took a photography course with my mother and it was my first formal photography education. That seriously re-ignited my passion for photography. I discovered how to take better and better images and have become an award winning photographer.

I truly enjoy taking photographs and strive to incorporate artistry in my work. My inspiration includes Ansel Adams, Herb Ritts, the intricate works of Salvador Dali, my friends Kelly Padgett and Gabriel De La Vega.

If you are interested in having some photography done please feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
