Location: For the present time I live in Marquette, Michigan but I am moving to Denton, Texas in late March.

Camera of choice: Any of my colorful Polaroid 600 Cameras are my preferred cameras for shooting instant film.  My collection from Retrospekt are my prized possessions, they are like family to me.

Style: I have been in love with Polaroid since 2011.  My style would be in Contemporary Photography.  Nan Goldin, Mark Morrisroe, Tom Bianchi, and Cindy Sherman have influenced my style the most.  

Goals with Instant Film: I want to grow my archives of Polaroid and would like to continue entering exhibitions.  My ultimate goal would be to make a living from taking snapshots and portraits on Polaroid film.  

Goals within the IFM: To share creativity with others and to share the knowledge of Instant Film with others.  My boyfriend Chuck is already beginning Polaroid in bulk and my hope is to inspire others to discover the magic of Polaroid.

I love taking portraits and snapshots of others.  However, I have a stronger passion for documenting the Queer Community.  Being a gay man isn't as difficult as it would have been in the 70's to early 2000's, but it's still a challenge at times for myself to feel that I belong to any one community.
