2007 Photographer of the Year Award
Professional Photographers of America

A special thanks to a couple of the models that helped make that happen. Natalie Hockey now with Fusion in NYC, her image Blue Eyes was one of my merits. Dara Creswel with an image that I titled Modern Teen thinker, this image not only merited but will appear in the PPA Showcase collection. All of my images merited and I thank everyone that helped make this award possible. This award is such a major accomplishment and personal goal I could not be more thankful. The images will be on display in Tampa FL at the PPA convention and public display Jan 6-8th, 2008.


I have been a fulltime Professional Photographer since 2001, however I took my first photography lesson in the seventies. My father was a photographer for the newspaper when I was little so I have been exposed to it for a long time. I love all types of photography and am open to all types of styles. I graduated from the New York Institure of Photography and have a merited print from NYIP.

I am working on my Masters in photography and am about half way through.

This is my only job, I am not doing this on the side. I have very reasonable rates and will entertain all offers so don't hesitate to ask.

My work is published nationally and internationally. I have won several international awards, through the Professional Photographers of America.

I am also a former state of NC licensed model agent. I resigned from that to focus on my passion, photography. I am also a published author.
