| Introduction | I'm a high school art teacher with a passion for photography. I love capturing emotion and small interactions in the people I photograph. In creating an image, I try to use mostly available natural light in both natural and urban environments. |
| Interests | Photography, Art, Museums, Architecture, Film, Books, Cooking, Dancing, Traveling, World cultures |
| Favorite Movies | I love foreign films, especially if they are quirky. Show me a whimsical romantic comedy, and I'm sold. Movies more along the lines of Amelie, not dull, manufactured ones.
