How old were you when you took your first photo, and what camera was it?
Probably 10 years old, and using a Minolta 35mm camera I bought on Ebay. I quickly switched to a Nikon D70S.
When did you know you wanted to do this for a living?
I never really did, it just happened, almost by accident.
If you could photograph anyone, living or not, who would it be?
I have been fortunate to photograph many of my idols in sport, this is a tough one. Maybe more someone personal, like a family member that has passed away.
Favorite place on earth
North Shore Oahu, Hawaii
One piece of advice for someone just starting
Be nice with people, and be open to learn.
A tip you’d share with other photographers
Shoot every single day.
How do you “Live the Moment”?
This is going to be counter intuitive for a photographer, but going to concerts and living it without recording or taking photos. I usually make sure I keep time aside for photos and time aside for being there.
