A little something about myself
I started photography when one of my best friends taught me some killer techniques in high school, "Thanks John". After I moved away from home I purchased my own equipment and started traveling around the world and photographing everyhting possible. From the Pyramids to the jungles in the Philipines and so much more.

I completed my Graphic / Web Design in two years. The following courses equals around 1 year, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day courses. Very extensive course work for any professional photo journalist, graphics and multimedia manger.
