I'm mostly 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.

Two of my photos placed this month in the University Photographers’ Association of America (UPAA) monthly image competition and I am thrilled! My photo of Lupe Fiasco taken at this year’s Pantherfest placed second in the news, spot, & feature category. The team photo of the women’s basketball team standing in the shape of a heart (their team motto this year is “one team, one beat”) placed third in the sports features & illustrations category.

I attended an Alec Soth lecture last week (1/26/11) at Marquette University. His signed statement proves it. Many quotes and insights on photography resonated with me, one I took home:
“For me, photography is as much about the way I respond to the subject as it is about the subject itself. My portraits don’t reveal all that much about the people I’m photographing. I often say what I’m really photographing is the space between myself and the subject.” - Alec Soth
