I’ve always harbored a love for photography. My father was an avid photographer, so perhaps that’s where I get my knack from...who knows? Wherever it came from, I’m grateful!

While freelancing in the film and television business for several years, my photography fell to the wayside. Then in 2000, the movie biz slowed down considerably in the area, and I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. So, bolstered by my love for animals (as well as lack of income), I started a pet care business to fill in the gaps.

After being out of the loop with the arts for a while, I started missing my creative side and that's when I picked up a camera again.
I started doing some freelance photography work about a year and a half ago and have had selected works shown from time to time in local galleries.

I particularily love photographing pets-I love their honesty and whimsy. My pet photography is in the permanent collection at Central Animal Hospital, located in downtown Savannah, GA in the Starland Arts District. I am also represented by Lanoue Film Arts in Boston, MA. Recent clients include WOMR radio, Provincetown, MA, Schmap Boston, Southern Spaces journal, Little Theatre of Savannah, and the Humane Society for Greater Savannah.

Southern reflections

Gryphon Tea Room, Bull Street, Savannah, GA with reflection of Poetter Hall, Savannah College of Art and Design (aka “SCAD”)

I walk by Poetter Hall several times a week and have always wanted to get a unique view of it. This was taken this past Sunday…the Tea Room had closed for the day so I was able to get a really clean shot of the reflection of it in the window.

Just a little side note: Poetter Hall was originally known as Preston Hall, and was SCAD’s first building and historic preservation project. SCAD has since purchased and restored many buildings throughout Savannah.

doug - One lump… please. I do love a cup of tea
in the afternoon.
sniff, sniff.
miss you.
great shot…. it says it all!

bluechameleon - I absolutely love the feel and dreamlike nature of this shot. Perhaps it’s a memory of a meeting between 2 long lost lovers, many years ago.

Brian - I like this image – the reflection – the warm color.
Makes me want to have a nice cup of tea – or better than that, a good Irish Whisky, preferrably Middleton.

I have another site with a somewhat similar pic.
