What is your personal definition of photography?

 I would define photography as artwork made by a machine and operator. From abstract angles to lighting techniques to reflections whatever the operator visualizes and captures on the camera. Photography is still frames of life that you can hold on to forever. 
 

 What is the difference between a snapshot & a photograph?

Mary and Ms. June Carter Cash

I believe the difference between a snapshot and a photograph is timing. A snapshot is something you try to catch really quick and pray that you did verses a photograph is something well planed out and thoughtful. 

What is a cliche? 

I lost track of time.... Brave as a lion... Though as nails... Opposites attract... What goes around comes around... They all lives happily ever after... we're not laughing at you we're laughing with you... Don't get your knickers in a twist...Dead as a door nail...Avoid it like the plague... Take the tiger by the tail... If walls could talk...The pot calling the kettle black...Like a kid in a candy store... Every dog has its day...Plenty of fish in the sea... Dropped the ball... 24/7... It is what it is...bottom line is... touch base...

What is the most important thing in your life? 

Started with the two in the middle!! 60 years later!!

The most important thing in my life would be my family and friends. I have a very big close family that I am very proud of being apart of. Probably the most important member would be my partner of 6 years Mary. Since we met it's been nothing but an amazing very busy social life together. Last but not least my first fur child June Carter Cash is a HUGE important mammal in my life. She's a white/yellow English lab that loves everyone!!

What is your greatest strength/weakness?What is your greatest strength/weakness as a photographer?

Well let's see I believe my greatest strength would be that I am a team player. I am always down for whatever very easy breezy person. One of my weaknesses would be I have a huge heart and wear it on my sleeve. Greatest strength as a photographer I believe I have is a good eye and try to look outside the box a lot. A weakness would be not fully understanding my camera and using it to its full potential.

Where would you like to be as a photographer? What is keeping you from getting there?

As a photographer I would like to be able to use my camera to it's full capability and capture moments of my life that I can have forever. As well as see the opportunities that could come from being a photographer. What's keeping me from getting there is my lack of knowledge to operate my camera fully.

Complete the following sentence until you run out of things to say: "If I could make a set of photographs, they would....

be of all the different baseball stadiums in the U.S. as well as the seven wonders of the world new and old. I would love to shoot tropical beaches as well as wildlife. I would love sets of winter shots with fresh snow on the ground. Under water pictures.
