“Every photographic moment is unique.  For me, photography is capturing that moment, then sharing it with the world, and preserving it for an eternity. "

I started taking pictures as a young boy and never stopped.  I began shooting events for hire, such as weddings, sporting events, etc. in the 1980’s.  I am always available for shooting those types of significant events (See Services). 

 I really enjoy the art of photography. I like the viewer to study my photographs for the deeper meaning, to look for the story behind the photograph.  In recent years, I have begun conceptualizing and creating photographic projects that celebrate the contributions of African Americans.   As a people, we are still marginalized in America, and many of our contributions and our father’s contributions are ignored.  That is what Souls of Valor was all about.  It was about our fathers, our aunts, our uncles, and grandparents who fought proudly and bravely for America during World War II;  but who are never celebrated in the movies. It’s like we were invisible.   

 I love capturing the culture of New Orleans in my photography. The Mardi Gras Indians, second line parades, the Jazz Fest.  I also love photographing other cultures.  I have learned so much from my photographic ventures to Haiti, Cuba, Costa Rica.  Please visit my online gallery .  I hope you find a photograph that is meaningful to you or to someone close to you - something that you must have for that special space in your office or den, for a friend.   

Photographs are a window to immortality.  That is how I like to use this intriguing art form. Take a closer look and you will see…”
