Photo & Graphic designs for events, structures, and surfaces.
I started learning from Dad in his garage darkroom as a kid in 1979. After trial and error of black and white printing, I became interested in taking photos. Then I learned about color film. Exploring Kodachrome, and various types of print film. In High School I began working for La Prensa. Printing and photographing for San Antonio's first bi-lingual publication as a kid was a blast! This lead to my interest of Photography as a job. I studied graphic art, and became proficient in functional design. The Introduction of festival and event industry has me creating unique graphics for structures, signs, and banners. Sort of like interior design, but out doors. I enjoy creating a piece that can withstand the elements of wind, rain , and sun... yet still be beneficial to the viewer... all while looking cool to the eye. Keeping with my roots of art, I have become apart of The University of Texas art collection. Commercially I have been published, and taught photography from a community based darkroom / studio I founded in 1999. I now photograph products, weddings, and visual art projects. I also design for numerous festivals, and trade shows across the country. I’m the last guy that thought I’d actually make it as a professional artist. Thanks to my parents, wife, and kiddos for their never ending support, I have had an interesting career. Big ups to my whole family, dedicated friends, loyal clients, and those clients whom are now friends!
