Photography: this word is derived from the Greek words for light and writing. Literally it means to tell a story with a picture; thus the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words." Taking photos is both a science and an art. When done correctly the results can convey an emotion, weave a tale, or capture a moment. Photos can freeze time and preserve memories. These are a sampling of my work. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

A Bit Bent : "A Bit Bent" is the name of a comic strip that I draw. I started it to learn more about some of the tools in photoshop. To see how much I have improved just check out the comics at the beginning of the collection. The strip will make a lot more sense if read from that end anyway.
