I'm a photographer who lives near Lake Michigan in the Milwaukee, WI area. I work as a "Digital Asset Manager / Photographer" at UW-Milwaukee and travel the midwest on the weekends and holidays. Visit my website and portfolio to see more of what I'm all about.

Don’t worry about being better than anybody you know personally or whose work you admire. Simply try to be better tomorrow than you were yesterday. You are not so much in competition with others as you are with yourself. Be your own toughest critic. Show only your best and develop your self-editing abilities so you know just what your best is.

I’m pretty excited about this 1st place winner in the UPAA MIC this past month. I was confident it would do well, I’m pretty attached to the photo and I enjoyed taking it. When we scouted the location we were expecting another typical lab. The plant growing area turned out to be beautifully lit and full of possibilities. I knew what I wanted to do right away. One hurdle, though, was the space. It was only big enough for one person. Luckily I love these challenges. For this shot I jammed by camera in to the corner on a boom and tethered it to my laptop where I could fire it off remotely. I displayed what the camera was seeing using LiveView and stood right next to the researcher, Ching-Hong Yang, where I could give him directions and move him in the frame. I love it.
As always, check out all of this month’s winners: http://www.upaa.org/mic-archived-galleries/october-2011
