  • Let’s Meet

    I’ve always found it very helpful to meet in person or over Skype to cover all of your questions. Once you get to know me, you'll probably find out that I am not a fan of coffee, but I'm always up to meet at a coffee joint so we can get to know each other.

Bears in the Leaves

April 9, 2014

“She smiled and said with an ecstatic air: “It shines like a little diamond”, “What does?” “This moment. It is round, it hangs in empty space like a little diamond; I am eternal.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason

Boys in leaves

This quote so eloquently captures my view on photography. As I look back on the photos I have taken of our children, the ones I hold most dearly are the ones that ‘just happened’…

This photo was taken in the fall at Cantigny park in Wheaton, Illinois. Our boys had been playing on the tanks (yes, they have real military tanks that the children can climb on!) and they began to roll in the leaves. I quickly climbed on one of the tanks and began taking shots. The look they held with one another at the moment this photo was snapped was priceless. Brotherhood at its best! Follow Life!
