Overview
About Me
I am a 4th generation photographer that comes from a long line of family photographers. I started taking pictures at the age of 14 with a Canon AE-1 Program given to me by my father. From then on there were few times where you would see me without it. I founded Phuture Photography in 1997, and throughout the years I have experimented with different types of cameras and print media. I was one of the few in my family line that was able to experience every type of camera technology from fully manual cameras all the way up to the current digital SLRs. Between 2005 and 2015 I had been doing professional photography as a side gig to my full time job where I was working as an IT Support Specialist. In early 2016 with encouragement from my wife Priscilla I decided it was time to take my photography full time. I have 23 years of experience and I am always learning. I love to travel to amazing places and see what images I can come home with.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Well I'm Not famous yet and I dont have the disposable funds necessary to build my Photography stock from all of the fantastic locations I am attempting to capture. So couch surfing seems like the perfect fit for me as I am as laid back as they come and pretty much can make friends anywhere that I go.
