~Amateur Photography~

I studied old-school film photography in college, SFSU graduating in 2000 with a B.A. in Fine Arts (photo/sculpture).   Most of my photo history is with silver gelatin and film but due to technological changes, alas I am making the slow hard transition over to digital, reluctantly albeit surely.  At the moment, I am only using a small point and shoot camera with no manual focus control and a limited zoom. 
I can barely remember what I learned in school and now I have to start all over. This is the burden of being a dinosaur of creativity.  :P

 Most of the concert photography below is shot with a Panasonic Lumix, from at least 30-60 feet away and in low light situations with no flash.  Despite these limits, I think they still came out pretty damn good!  
I LOVE taking photos of musicians in action and hope to incorporate that into my work along with classic portraits. 

Below is my most recent music photography.
