Biography:
I was born and raised in rural Hamblen County, East Tennessee. I've been shooting and exhibiting work for about 13 years now. When I started, I focused on subjects at hand, which was flora & fauna. I renonvated several state park vistors' centers with the material gathered in the woods of East Tennessee & Western NC. I lived in the Nashville,TN and Charleston, SC areas for several years where I began shooting and exhibiting informal 'street portraitures' and urban landscapes.I eventually returned to East Tennessee and have recently embraced digital manipulation of my work, though I still shoot strictly film. I've taken my camera all over the world; Japan, Mexico, Cuba, Centeral and South America, and most recently to Puerto Rico to document the Independence movement there.
