Art Director, Photographer

Hey, there! Between photography, fine art, travel/documentary work, creative provocative apps (more on that at a later date), serving as art director for a small creative agency I started (Curate the World) and writing for Fstoppers.com, I'm doing everything I love to do. Update: I also just started FilmObjektiv.org, a low-cost, film gear rental site for long-term projects. Want to shoot more film? Check it out!

I like helping people, researching new gear, and having great conversations while tapping into my German heritage by enjoying my wurst and Weissbier.

I'm in a different city of California depending on the day of the week, but email or Facebook message me if you want to meet somewhere in this state or talk on the phone. As I said, I love to help -- when I have the time.

Have an idea for a post? A quick question about photo gear? About life? Go for it! And then go shoot something (with your camera)!

Quick things:
I prefer a call to an email, an email to a text, and a text to a tweet...I don't really use Twitter (gasp!)
Favorite funny quote that you sometimes need to remember to do some of your best work: "When I was young, every day I prayed to God for a bicycle. Until one day, I realized God doesn't work that way. So I stole one and prayed for forgiveness instead."
Favorite cheesy-but-totally-true quote: "If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough."
