Biography: I received my first film camera at age 7, and continued on to earn a BFA in photography, followed by a MS degree. I started shooting only in black and white and then hand-tinted the sepia toned images. I later transitioned to digital and made use of the existing colors that I found on my walks to Venice Beach in California, as well as in my travels around the world.
