My first job as a professional photographer was with The Times, the 7th largest newspaper in Indiana at the time. I was hired straight out of high school and have never considered another line of work. I now have over 50 years of experience behind the camera. I worked at the paper for 10 years before striking out on my own. For the next several years, I freelanced for various book and magazine publishers including Time Magazine and Sports Illustrated. After a while, living out of the suitcase became tiring. In 1985 I started Visuals, my own one-man photography/ad agency. While working hard during the day to get the business off the ground, I took a job teaching a night course in "Creative Photography" at a local college. 

Today, I am semi-retired. I moved back to Indiana to care for my mother until her passing a few years ago. I still maintain a small studio where I shoot tabletop product photography for a few clients. When I'm not doing that, I like to work with models on a TFP basis. This gives me the freedom to shoot for myself and experiment with different techniques.
