What's to say?
So, this is one of those "bios" that I rarely know what to write about.
I'm a photographer. It's been a life long hobby and I take photo's for the simple joy of taking photo's.
I have done weddings, band or gig photography, portraits, still life and nature.
I'm currently a student going to night school working toward a BFA in Photography. I have a day job and take photo's on the weekends or just about any chance I get.
About five years ago, I became interested in cosplay photography after going to an anime convention with friends.
It's been a blast and I've been doing it every since.

One of the questions I hear the most is "why do you do this?" referring to my going to anime conventions and taking photo's. Well, I enjoy photography and taking photo's of people in costume. As a student, this gives me a chance to work on my portrait work. It also gives me a chance to meet interesting people and see how much work they have put into their costumes.

Anime conventions and events in Texas that I have visited so far in no particular order.....

Anime Overload
Ikkicon
San Japan
A-Kon
Anime Matsuri
Cosplay Day Out
Austin Comic Con
Yulecon
Oni-Con

So, while I will keep this DA account focused on my cosplay photography, I will from time to time update it with non-cosplay. I will also upload other things I've done in the past 10 years or so. Stuff that compared to what I do now may not look all that good but it's always good to see what I've done in the past to see how far I've come as a photographer. If you're not improving, moving forward then you're just standing still.


--------------This is kinda important to me------------------
If I take a photo of you in cosplay and you would like to use it for whatever, that's fine by me. I encourage it. The only thing I ask is that you leave the photo as I shot it and credit me as the photographer. Please do not alter it or remove the watermark.
Thanks so much!
