Our Founding Principles

My uncle gave me my first camera as a 13-year old graduating from elementary school. It was no toy. It was a real Pentax camera. So, high school had its fun moments, at parties, birthdays and athletic events. I was useful, and a celebrity of sorts as I exploited this toy, not toy but equipment. I bought my own camera at 17, an Olympus Pen because it had this feature of shooting half-frames. That made me some money, too. While, for me it was a hobby, I made some money on the side because it required special laboratories to process those images. I have since moved on.

However, the shock moment for me was when my 9-year old daughter demanded uninterrupted access to my Nikon D50, a DSLR, for the life of me. She had become my assistant photographer in church, taking photos while I minded the video cameras. She just had the eye for the action moment, the newsworthy photo, and she manipulates that camera with so much dexterity that is challenging. I began to ask myself if my ways have gone beyond being a hobby to a maniac because her mother did not like the attention to this tiny girl running around the church with an expensive camera that becomes hard to ignore by worshippers. When did the transfer of skills happen?

As cosmetic dentist, I was trained in close-up photography. I needed to enter into people's mouth and show the world the beauty of dental science and technology. Therefore, it is not just a hobby about showing landscapes and bodies, photography for me translated into explaining the transformations in beauty treatment. Such was the challenge that when I had the onerous duty of preparing princesses for their wedding in the Middle East where all my skills were put on edge. Yet, my skills made my treatment unique and highly demanded.

My professional training in digital design concepts and news photography at the North Lake College, Irving, Texas sharpened my photography and video technology skills. Currently, I volunteer as photographer for my clubs and as the Director of Media Services for my church in Dallas, Texas.

I love to travel and I am happy to work anywhere in the world. I have lived in practically in every continent on earth, and love meeting with new people and exploring different places.
