After a long day in front of the camera (12 hours + of shooting), the princess agreed to one more photograph........

I enjoy the challenge of professional photography and all that that entails, I love telling stories with photography and for years I have also been consulting with a variety of industry related companies and continue to find new clients in unexpected places.

Teaching allows me to be in the service of others.  This career began at Los Angeles Trade Tech and then on to Art Center College of Design. Glendale Community College, Burbank Unified School District, Brooks Institute, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and wyzant.com. I've written lesson plans, course curriculum, tutorials and presentations. I am motivated to inform others and to that end, my first book has been published..:www.amazon.com/Build-Better-Photograph-Disciplined-Creativity/dp/1933952180/ref=sr_1_1 

Two reviews of my book: digitalapplejuice.com/build-photograph-disciplined-book-rocky-nook/ and www.mymac.com/showarticle.php

www.slideshare.net/Mr_Pixel, where I occasionally post tutorials and presentations at the address above. Photo Basics is a popular one.

I volunteered a day of my time to help those who are unemployed and looking for work: tinyurl.com/ykah4u6
 
I did an interview at jitzul.com. You can listen to it here: www.jitzul.com/sections/interviews/

Beate Chelete and i talked about being a self-sustaining creative professional: attendthisevent.com/

When I do public events, appearances or classes, they will be posted on the Events & Talks page.

I build photographs, I don't take pictures. I'd like to build a better photograph for you.

Thank you for spending time on my site.
