In 1994 I attended Brooks Institute of Photography. Brooks was strictly a school of photography and science. The timing  was unique, these years ended up being the last few years before digital cameras had a presence in the photography world. I used every format camera available, processed all my film, and printed both color and black and white. There was extensive work done, not only in the labs but also in the studios.  My education that was second to none, and an interregnal stepping stone to getting me where I am today.

Since 2011 I have been shooting exclusively with my iPhone. Once I let go of my larger cameras and excessive gear I discovered a new level of creativity and passion.  My camera is always in my hand, I enjoy the instant gratification, and I appreciate the ability to quickly manipulate and edit my images. What I have learned is that people rarely pay any attention to a women on the street with an iPhone, it’s a bit like being invisible. I find people are more receptive, less intimidated, and more natural.
