Las Vegan for 11 years, 37; not really new in photography, I owned a Nikon SLR in college but that was a while back. Art is shared in my family, I also paint Oils and Acrylics on canvas. I see beauty in everything. I just bought my Canon 10D DSLR 2 months ago and I am re-discovering photography.

I like pictures with stories, so, I like to present my subject/ galleries with content, substance, depth. I like to express the message and emotions of the pictures I am taking; how I experience them and what moved me.

My galleries are still evolving, so I invite you to stop by regularly.

I created "CompetitionEntries" community for fellow passionate photographers to feature their competition-quality photos. I make it a habit to involve my community by asking their thoughts on entries I am submitting or contemplating for a contest. The award I get is the enjoyment of the challenge, ribbon or no ribbon. No awards required, just intense passion for a really great shot. Please accept my invitation.

As a courtesy and gratitude..please leave comments as you wish after viewing my galleries. I would love to read your thought (no pun intended).

Few of the projects and galleries coming in the near future:
- Commercial for Sunshine Pet Foods (collaborating with LJParker)
- Kenyan Skyscapes

Other things I want to look into:
Guns- this may be semi macro, Oils and Acrylics - pigments on canvas, Commercial/ architecture buildings- not necessarily strip hotels. Collaboration welcome!
