In
December of 1996, I received a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing
from
Michigan State University.
I soon found myself back in Ann Arbor with a camera in my
hands looking
to explore my inner voice. Nature's vast landscapes and pristine
wilderness would become my concentration for visual education.
I
am currently involved with multiple formats of photography.
I enjoy the ancient craft of traditional large format photography.
Nevertheless, with the evolvement and advancement of digital
technology,
comes
a new set of results and technical challenges.
My
investigations into a Master's in Photography at WSU have sent
me deeper into the realm of the power of visual syntax. My
imagery
has transformed significantly from traditional landscape
to a more socially conscious agenda. In order to enhance
my
understanding of visual media, I have recently concentrated
on historical printmaking
techniques such as intaglio and serigraphy.
Photography
has changed the face of society forever. By observing the environment
around us, we can go deeper into the meaning of life and the
understanding of ourselves.
