Ovation TV

I am a fabulous photographer living outside of Los Angeles. I enjoy chasing golden shadows in my car, especially through the canyons of the Santa Monica Mountains. I am passionately committed to saving analog film---especially Polaroid. While I Love the convenience of Digital, and take lots of digital images, film is a magical experience. Art should feel magical. 

My televison has had so much more soul since I found Ovation. My DVR is full with Ovation goodness. And Anderson Cooper. hee hee... 

Most of my work has been lightscapes and abstract landscapes lately...I used to do a lot more narrative portraits and such---but things change...always. I have a few new ideas up my sleeve...stay tuned. 

I love feedback---especially constructive feedback. I miss my Photo family from school---one of the best crtitique groups ever! 

Keep Daydreaming!
