About Me

My photo
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Retired Navy Veteran, former EMT and Police Officer “Personally – “Life is a constant creation of beauty and miracles.” I am fascinated and captivated by the beauty of nature, its endless energy, its boundless potential for changes and aspects of life’s influences. Photography as an art has been a great discovery and a passion for me since the age of 19 of which I explored while studying Graphics Art in NYC. With education and the help of my mentor, I started shooting film and developing my images in black and white - worked and gained experience as a photographer and throughout my military career, I continued to shoot and photograph everything. Photography has allowed me to view, capture and share my passion and profession.

Nature's Images






The Look Behind the Veil


The Stare



I captured this image of the Bride and Groom as they were staring at each other and processed it through Lightroom and moved it over to Photoshop where I applied the Oil Paint Filter with the following settings: Stylization 4, Cleanliness 2.3, Scale 0.8, Bristle Detail 10, Angular Direction 300 and Shine 0. On Shine, I tend to keep it at zero if not it can render your image with the appearance of a Bevel and Emboss look.
