I began my photographic career in 1986 when I bought a camera to document a vacation to the Havasu Canyon in Arizona. Something magical happened inside those red canyon walls, for I was soon smitten with the art and technology of "taking pictures". I began to study the masters -- Ansel Adams, Paul Strand and Jerry Uelsman, built my own darkroom, and bought state of the art equipment.

In 1989, I became staff photographer for the University of Caiifornia Berkeley Professional Development Program and the following year obtained a photographer position with University of Caiifornia Berkeley Extension California Continuing Education of the Bar.

In 1992, I opened my own photography studio. In 1993, I bought the first of many computers and digital equipment, and the photography studio evolved into a Photo Digital Studio.
