My passion for photography began when I received my first 35mm camera in 1985 as a gift.

 

I have always appreciated nature and love being able to capture what I can on film from insects to forces of Mother Nature and all in between.

 

Photographing people is important to me because of what it leaves behind.  I have photographed many people for the last time in their lives and the impact it has had on their survivor's is priceless & irreplaceable.

 

Ironically, my passion for blues music actually started after I left my hometown of Helena, Arkansas to make my new home in Florida.  I would return each year to Helena in October to attend the Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival formally known as The King Biscuit Blues Festival.  I developed a deep passion for the music and artists.  Being able to share what I capture is important to me so that others can reflect on their personal memories.  I have been attending blues festivals and events over the South as a free lance photographer for over 10 years.  The blues will always be close to my heart and is a part of my delta heritage.
