Hi there and welcome to my online portfolio...

Here is a little bit of info about me.....I grew up in the Cayman Islands, which is part of the British Overseas Territory. While growing up there I got my first Atari 2600, then the Nintendo and SNES. Even had a Turbo Grafx-16 which I had to buy myself, seeing that my parents refuse to get it for me because I was already playing the Nintendo systems way too much. My love affair with games was in full bloom after graduating from the Vancouver Film School 3D program in June of 1999. But before VFS I studied at BCIT in the Computer System Technology program, I left after two years, coding just wasn't my thing. Although over the last 9 years of being in the Industry I’ve found that the programming knowledge I got from BCIT to be pretty handy when working with Programmers or editing script files for the Visual Effects.  In those 9 years I’ve learnt so much from being a lead, character modeler, VFX artist, and all around game addict……..I can’t wait to see what else is still to come.

The photography part of this site has just started to come around. I am a self taught amateur of photography, who started playing with the Nikon Coolpix in 2000 then upgraded to the Nikon D100 a year later. For a few years I was only using the camera off and on due to being sucked into work way too much. During 2008 I decided to take it back up and really learn to use my camera and photography so that I could take the camera off P mode. My goal now is to post at least one photo a day, take a couple of new ones for that day, while trying to focus on good composition and interesting subject matters. With editing being as much fun as taking photos, I will be going over some of the more interesting photos taken in the past and bringing them out of storage. Because of this photos are not going to be posted in any particular order just what inspires me that day, but I will try to make sure they are newer photos.

I hope you enjoy the works posted here and thank you for visiting.
