while I've always had interest in taking photos while traveling, hiking & camping, I've recently found interest in photography of sporting events, portraits, architecture, and much more.  during college, photography played an important role in studying the environment while also serving as a useful tool for Design of outdoor spaces. while following my wife's progress as a body building competitor, i have found that capturing athletes at their most competitive state is a rewarding experience and is a cherished moment for any competitor after long hours of work and dedication.
