Hi. Thanks for visiting.
I began photographing semi-seriously more than ten years ago after I decided I needed a hobby. As an engineer by training and a middle-manager by day I needed a creative outlet. Photography requires enough technical acumen and cool gear to appeal to the geek in me while also allowing for artistic expression.
Inspiration typically strikes me while traveling, so many (if not most) of the images here were taken on personal or business trips. I started shooting night and twilight scenes once I moved to digital and love the way scenes transform once the sun goes down.
I hope you enjoy the images on this site. Feel free to leave a comment or send me an e-mail; I look forward to hearing from you.
