+ about

unique vision is something unparalleled, i strive not to be perfect, but to show something how it is, or how I feel that it should be. I believe eugène delacroix said it best, "artists who seek perfection in everything are those who can attain it in nothing."

i've been a car guy since before i can remember. wrenching on one thing or the other, always taking something apart just to figure out how to put it back together again. this is also true with my photography. since that fateful day my parent’s put a camera in my hand, an old nikon fe2 with tri-x, i fell in love with the idea of imagery.

having tried every medium before photography, painting to chalk, sculpting to welding (and everything in between), photography and motor vehicles have been my only constant. i have a passion that i feel is advantageous to anyone that chooses to use it for his or her own. a mentor asked me once, “peter, what would you do if you had just won the lottery? you never had to work again.” i answered my mentor's question with, “i'd go buy a new camera.”
