Welcome to my website, started on 9/28/05. 3/10/08 I updated my pic at left with a photo Rick Smith sent me from ILRA with my new "Fatbike" from Wildfire. Riding in snow is something I've always liked, I finally got a bike that will handle just about anything in the winter. Surprisingly, you can fit smaller 2.3" tires on Surley Large Marge Rims, as shown here with studs.

I can also print photos up to 13"x19" from my Epson 2200 printer, e-mail me if interested. For those that do not want to purchase prints or e-files over the internet, I can accomodate that. I can do multiple pics per page this way, which you don't get via Smugmug. Please e-mail me for any other special requests. I normally shoot in RAW or RAW Large JPEG formats.

Please e-mail me regarding commercial uses if needed. Purchases via the service provider do not grant the buyer rights to re-sell copies. I often arrange "Private" galleries for this purpose, as well as send a CD package via mail. Those requesting can download or e-mail me for copies of their pics.

Regarding cycling, I'm a Benefactor member of the Michigan Mountain Biking Association (MMBA). I race Sport men in the over 40 categories, B-men cyclocross. I shoot the other categories that I don't race in, unless for some reason I can't race and shoot all categories. If anyone has needs for my photos outside of what Smugmug is set up for, please contact me. Images obtained from me via Smugmug or other means (like CD,DVD, e-mail, etc) can be used for personal or team websites.

I'm often asked what a "Stick" instrument is, I happen to play the "NS" version, and received my 12-String Grand in Feb 08. See http://www.Stick.com, and you will find everything you would want to know about that instrument.

In August 07 one of my photos of former Fernadale musician (NS/Stickist) Gary Jibilian was published in "The Record Detroit's Music Journal" . The photo was one taken at the Stick Festival in Ann Arbor in 2006. Gallery featured below under "Music".
