I call myself a digital artist. My primary tools are a Nikon D-300, a Pentax 645 (medium format film) and Adobe Photoshop CS2. I have been an amateur photographer since the age of 12 and an artist all my life.

In the late 1960's I built a darkroom and B&W processing lab for Haag Engineering, a consulting firm. I loaded, and processed my own B&W film. I worked after-hours, sometimes all night and into the early morning hours, on personal photography. Back then, in the early '70's, I shot candids of friends and events and gave the pictures away. I was involved in SCCA racing and shot races and cars and sold the pictures at the next race. I was fortunate to have a half-dozen of my pictures printed in a special edition, car racing magazine insert for the Green Valley Raceway "Sunburn Classic", in the Dallas Morning News (as in lower right picture). That's me in our Fiat, #85 (lower left picture).
I did a few portraits and shot a portfolio for a female model. I have lugged a medium format Pentax and its' big lenses all over Europe and, hiking, I've carried them up above treeline in the mountains.

I spent 18 years as a business owner (1983-2001. I was founder, owner and President of Prototech, Inc., in the Dallas area. (text continues below). The Prototech website was the first website I built (and could not have done without the help of my son, Brian, who was 14 or 15 at the time!).

Prototech's 12,000 SF building, finished November, 1998. The finished segment was the first phase of an ambitious plan to build a 18,000+ SF building with a curved front (James Langford, Architect). In the lobby, mounted flush in the interior wall, was a 5 foot wide bas-relief art piece, cast in urethane, designed and made by my employees.

I enjoy cooking, gardening and woodworking, among other things. I have numerous hobbies and maintain our home and property. I have built our two computers and networked all our PCs. I am still studying and doing photography, but mostly as a hobby. I still have some clients and still build some web sites.
In February of 2008 I was fortunate to have one of my photographs accepted into the prestigous "Images" competition hosted yearly by the Shoreline Arts Alliance of Guilford, CT. I have since entered other similar competition for fun and am a member of the Photo Arts Collective of New Haven, CT.

What does this have to do with photography and the services I am offering? I set up a small studio to photograph the product models we were involved in prototyping. These eventually went into our sales portfolios and into advertising I produced. I was responsible for establishing a web presence for the business in 1998. My son and I built the website and it became our primary vehicle for communicating our capabilities. It contains my photography. Also, is the fact that I successfully ran this business for almost 17 years and might still be doing it, save for the economic crisis that devastated our industry in the late '90s. I am experienced in dealing with professional business people of numerous disciplines. Many of my clients were Fortune 500 companies. I am adept at finding creative solutions to problems and getting things right. I understand deadlines and commitment to a job.

I am an artist. I am a "Jack of all trades", literally. You can see my skills throughout this site and others I have built or that I maintain. I have studied drawing, painting and ceramics. I am an accomplished machinist, painter and woodworker with an engineering background. I became an expert in the field of casting thermoset resin prototypes. In my 20's, I sold photography and kinetic wire sculptures. I designed and made custom jewelry and furniture. I customized and painted cars and motorcycles. These talents and skills contributed to, and evolved into, a long career as a model maker and business owner. Parts shown in the "Technical" area on my "Photography" page are a few of those I personally made (or participated in making) and photographed. Upon starting my business I was Motorola's and then Tandy's primary source for prototypes. Prototech became the largest, "top tier" prototyping house in the Southwest, once having 24 employees. See my old Prototech website.

With that illustrative career behind me, I now offer my services as a photographer, digital artist and web designer.
