"Why let him waste film", was a question my Mother was asked when I was in kindergarten. My Mother bought me a simplistic 110-film camera, loaded it with new batteries and film and would allow me to photograph in the house and in the yard. Two decades later the format has changed the locations have changed, but I am still enjoying the anticipation of viewing a photograph I took.
My passion for Photography has never eased, my desire for capturing a moment that could never be relived has always excited me. My life has always had the feeling of needing to hold onto moments due to my Mother being very ill her entire life that Photography was the way to stop time even for a moment.
