When I was 15 years old, someone told me that I would have a better chance at success with photography if I could also write.

At that time I couldn't imagine myself being a writer.  As my photography career advanced, my business expanded into marketing communications and I found myself writing scripts, speeches, ad copy, concept presentations, business plans, proposals, and business letters. 

It's been only in recent years that I began to write personally.  To my great delight, I've often been able to incorporate my photographs with my stories. 

I hope you will enjoy reading my writing.
