About Me

I consider myself a Experimental Photographer, I love to shoot what I find interesting and not just one thing or subject.

Born in northern Cali (1968) and raised in Anchorage, Alaska and now residing in Scottsdale, Arizona. I am a residential solar system designer, electrician specializing in lighting controls and automation, and a part time student. I use to run two on-line gaming servers for Unreal Tournament 99 and 04: Fragmistyk [Dead_Again or Dynazty ROK]. But now I'm into Photography, I bought a Olympus C8080 WZ the Summer of 2005 and in Summer 2007 I got the E510 and in the spring of 08 I went to the E-3. I love the great outdoors, Cars, Trucks, Bikes (mainly Choppers), and my line of work, they all give me a great canvas to work with. I also try to live for the environment - living a sustainable lifestyle - reduce, reuse, renew, recycle, & A big 80's Hair-METAL fan ....\,,/

Dog is my Co-pilot!

Thanks for stoping by for a visit....ROK-ON...

Nice galleries! They make me want to leave work, grab the camera and hunt down some rods! The "Details" gallery is great ---very artistic and the titles you come up with are perfect. I'm surprised I haven't run into you at a show.....I guess it could still happen.

I sold the bug about a year ago. You have probobly seen it at the Pavillions. It now has giant rear tires mounted on greenish/blue wheels,and brown streaks all over the body. Not something I would have done, but its not mine anymore. I think its time for another beetle.
