BIO:
Computer programmer and photographer
My background is in business, education and technology. During my young(er) years, I was a construction contractor in Kingman, AZ. When the economy turned sour in 1980, I went back to ASU and obtained a B.A. in Psychology and then to NAU for an M.A in Education (Guidance & Counseling).
Around 1983, I went to work for Eastern Arizona College at the Globe campus as a college administrator running training and vocational placement programs for eight years. When all the contracts ended, I started an office supply retail store in Globe which I sold after 2 years, and moved to Phoenix.
I had taught myself computer programming in the meantime, so I went to work for Uhaul as a programmer for the next 13 years. Tiring of the big city life I returned to Kingman in 2005. I now work for a large construction company as a computer programmer. I have also written a point-of-sale construction application which I hope to sell commercially someday.
I began to play around with photography in July of 2008. Almost immediately I was hooked. For me it is the digital manipulation of images to create a piece of art, that is most captivating. I am blessed to have top level state-of-the art photographic and printing equipment. It doesn't matter if I am photographing a beautiful flower with a powerful macro lens or a landscape shot of an otherwise grey desert terrain, it often can be manipulated into a work of art. Above all I try to bring out the color, texture, and light in my subjects.
I think being an artist is not about making money but about the act of creation itself. When you stand back and see your finished work and others see it and appreciate it and are uplifted in some way..it is good.
