As a photographer I got my start quite by accident. Without any real reason my brother bought me a camera for my 18th birthday. A simple 35mm SLR. Later I had the good fortune of knowing a couple of extraordinary photographers that fanned the flames of a hobby into a passion and an avocation. Over the last 30 plus years I have shot weddings, and portraits, family pictures and modeling portfolios. I have taken an inordinate number of pictures of wild wife. I had some incredible images taken, while on a trip through Kentucky, of a young colt nursing at it's mother. I say had because on the morning of July 21st 2007 my entire personal collection and much of my professional work was lost to fire. The Bernat Mill in Uxbridge MA erupted into flames and burned out 65 businesses including mine. On that day I lost equipment, including that camera that started it all, thousands of dollars in equipment, and approximately 40,000 images digital and film. Prior to that day I had been known as Life's Images. On that day I became pheonix photography. Yes pheonix is misspelled out of necessity to secure a web domain. I welcome you to pheonix photography and I know whether you're a nervous bride, an aspiring model, actor or actress, an up and coming band or performer, or just your average family looking for superior photography, you'll find it here. |
