As a child, I was fascinated by cartoons. My earliest drawings focused on images I saw in comic books. By 13, my sphere encompassed photography and film. However, all means to producing a visual image seemed good. Through the years, any device for capturing an image, also captured my imagination.

Here is a glimpse at some of my visual endeavors.
