Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blog, where I ditch the constant PR person nagging about every word I write and just write what I want to. I intend to write about things that inspire me as a business person and as a photographer. And to keep it interesting I will complain about a lot of the hacks walking around this town calling themselves photographers. I will tell you the secrets of becoming a commercial photographer and bring you along as I work and play in Phoenix, Arizona.

The first secret is to love what you do. I certainly love photography and it dominates my thinking in everything I do. I am constantly thinking about the light and how I will shoot the subjects that interest me. Lately I am obsessed with taking simple things like eggs or the ghetto car wash and seeing if I can create something interesting out of them. It is always an exercise in seeing and my personal work has it’s foundation in this idea and thanks to twitter and Scoble I know what to call what I have been doing for the last eight years– photowalking. A good image no matter the subject must first be visually interesting and the only way to develop that skill is to practice observing. Especially the simple things.
