My short bio: Grew up in the photography business, starting at age 6, as a darkroom tech, and photographyphile with my Kodak Brownie (still works). Owned a studio for ten years, bringing it with me to California from Illinois when my brain thawed out enough to realize I hated the Midwest and its inhospitable winters. Always wanted to live by the ocean... now I do!

I teach Marketing and Economics at Brooks Institute, and at ITT I teach Project Management, Economics, and Group Dynamics. I love teaching as much as I love Photography and am able to enjoy both passions in my life.

In 2007 I decided I'd been away from photography long enough and put SunRidge Photo into operation. In 2008 I completed one commissioned assignment for a book and am now working on the second book. Zin City, written by my friend, Debra Ristau, is going to be a fantastically fun project... and rewarding.

In addition to photography and teaching, I also coach business clients to higher levels of success. Today, I'm specializing in helping photographers gain market share and improve their communication efforts, as well as helping corporate clients such as Baxter Labs with team building and leadership.

There is one thing on my mind... YOUR SUCCESS!

IF YOU'RE IN THE AREA, LET ME KNOW & I'LL GIVE YOU THE 25CENT TOUR. G.

Thank you for the nice things you said about my work. I truly appreciate it.

Regarding the painting look: It's called the Orton Technique and is a simple Photoshop process. It is available as an action as well from Adobe.
