In May of 2005, I landed my first exhibit at City Dock Coffee in
Annapolis and Arnold, MD. Since then, I have done a number of
exhibits/art shows in Maryland, including a solo exhibit at the
Hollingsworth Art Gallery in the Patuxent National Wildlife Refuge
Visitor's Center in Laurel, an exhibit at Alchemy Tea & Trading Co.
(now out of business) in Annapolis, had a return engagement at City
Dock, and had works featured in several exhibits at the Montpelier
Arts Center in Laurel.
Currently, I am a licensed photographer for the B&O Railroad
Museum in Baltimore, MD, and have been a contributing
photographer for "What's Up? Annapolis" magazine since December
2005.
Photography had always been just a hobby for me until I purchased
my first digital camera in late 2004. I was amazed at how far the
quality of digital had come, and with the ease and minimal expense
(other than the initial equipment/software purchases), it opened up a
whole new realm of possibility and potential. I began to take my
camera everywhere with me, taking pictures of anything and
everything that captured my interest. I also began to experiment in the
"digital darkroom" with Photoshop 5.5. It was through this
experimentation, and trial-and-error, that I began to hone my skills a
bit.
Most of my work has been in the areas of nature/landscapes, flora & fauna, architecture & monuments (mostly exterior), and
urban & rural scenes. I still very much enjoy doing this kind of work, and will continue to do so, but I'm now branching out by
expanding my body of work into the areas of studio photography, portraiture, and model portfolios.
