Photography long has been a passion of mine. I think I was hooked on it the first time I depressed the shutter release button on a Canon SLR I picked up at a store in San Francisco in 1985. I bought that camera and began shooting my way up and down the Northern California coast.

Years later I'm still shooting, but my focus has changed from landscapes, though I still shoot them, to moving objects. I have branched out into youth sports in general and horse shows in particular. My two daughters are equestrians, so I figured that since I would be shooting them anyhow I might as well shoot other riders and market the images to them and their parents.

My philosophy of shooting action photography is simple: Get up close with the camera and the photo is personal.  See our Gallery here.
