Overview:
My background in the graphics world is varied and my skills are many. In the general scope of things, I consider myself to be a visual communicator working with equal confidence in front of a Mac as well as composing in a cameras viewfinder.
Twenty-two years as a freelancer in the Omaha market gave me a broad-brush background of diverse clients and assignments.
Five years ago I made the quantum leap into digital photography and haven't looked back. While most of my assignments are shot digital, I haven't forgotten my clients that require film based images.
In the end ... its still the eye of the creator that knows when the moment is right.
