Making Music

I guess you could say I’m a musical person–I used to play the trumpet and the french horn. I sang in a choir and performed in musical theater. I am a Rock Band god. But when it comes down to it, I’m not a musician.

I perform what’s given to me, I can even add my own spin to it, but I can’t just create music. I’ve tried. The best I could come up with is cliched lyrics and extremely derivative melodies. I’ve tried poetry and writing short stories; I’m just not that particular brand of creative. What I can do, though, is take pictures. I love photography and the process I go through that gives me freedom to explore images and present them in a way you might not have seen before.

I may not be a musician, but I’m making music now…it’s just with photography.

Want what? Want the cello? You'll have to fight Jeri Lynn for it. Want the roses? I'm sure that can be arranged. Want the chocolate? Can do that too. Want some photography? Let's talk.
