Locusts

My 4 year old daughter came running into the house today and said she had to show me something really cool I could take pictures of. I appreciated the perspective of a child and enjoyed my little shoot with the locusts.

Behind the scenes of My Life through a Lens

Touch passion when it comes your way...It's rare enough as it is. Don't walk away when it calls you by name.
~ J. Michael Straczynski

I didn't choose photography, it chose me. When my first child was born, I didn't want to miss a moment of his life, for fear that someday, I'd forget. So I documented it on film. What I saw opened up a whole new world to me, and soon it crossed over from a hobby to a passion. I craved challenging myself to come up with new and creative ideas. I wanted to capture the essence of the person I was shooting. Not merely take a picture of their face, but a picture of their soul. My love for photography has continued to grow, and it's created a monster. I don't see things in an ordinary way, I see them through the lens of my camera. This is a documentation of my life through that lens. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoy capturing them.
