Throughout all my career-style jobs, my passion persists.

I was one of those kids who spoke before thinking. Oh, but when I thought, I was deep into my thought(s). I liked art of all sorts, didn't everybody? I didn't know it at the time, but art was and is my comfort zone.

I picked up my aunt's polaroid when I was 9 and took my first photograph. Everyone said it was good. I thought "how hard can it be?" I asked what was so good about it and was told about photo composition and how this picture nailed it. .. OK. Cool.

"Can I keep it? - The camera - you should let me borrow it at least." A bold statement I made after the compliment.

I didn't get to keep my aunt's camera, nor did she let me take it home, but the seed was planted.

I drew often, doodled in my notes to keep my interest in school topics and created day-long masterpieces of music artists and people I knew, sitting at the kitchen table, mixing colors from colored pencils.

I later became a photographer, graphic designer, published writer and journalist. Now, let's put that to work for you!
