I am a self taught professional photographer who specializes in street, landscape, lifestyle, and marketing photography. I'm the creator of PhotolisticLife.com and DecisiveShot.com, two websites dedicated to sharing the passion of photography and educating others. When I'm not working on the sites I'm traveling and teaching workshops.
