# About me
Location: Plano, TXI am an avid photographer who has been shooting for over 30 years. I have chosen IT for my professional career allowing me the freedom to be extremely selective in what photography projects I participate in. That has also allowed me to build a very diverse portfolio of work. I still shoot professionally, but only for projects I feel are worthy. I enjoy a good technical challenge and have developed several creative solutions to achieve a customers' desired results. Travel, architecture, and nature are all great subjects, however my favorite by far is the female form in all its splendor.
I am always open to projects with fun, energetic people with creative ideas. My fees are nominal and negotiable but I'm not out to ruin the commercial market for those who make a living at photography. Though I will not do commercial work for free, artistic work for a portfolio, charity work and other non-commercial endeavors can be arranged on a trade basis if the ideas are great and those involved are professional.
I recently discovered the Japanese arts of Kinbaku and Shibari, Japanese rope tying. I am working to improve my skill at tying and making some of these beautiful creations. My interest is more in the decorative art form than the bondage aspect of the two are inexorably linked.
I enjoy supporting the arts, and a variety of charities. As a veteran with many family members who are current or former military members I support our vets.
When I am not working or creating, I am probably out on the road enjoying the view with the wind in my face on my motorcycle.
