I am a freelance photographer living in Mesa , AZ I started experimenting with photography 15 years ago. I was completing my open water certification as a scuba diver in the Sea of Cortez and wanted to capture the sights and memories of what I experienced underwater. I decided it was best to learn how to take pics on land before I took any expensive photo equipment out into the deep blue sea. I took a few classes , Wasted many rolls of film. And spent countless hours trying to get it right . I still to this day haven't taken any underwater photos. I have worked for a few photography studios and was mentored by some great photographers and appreciate their willingness to teach me . I'm always on the hunt for new people , places and things to photograph.
