Michael very rarely talks about himself in the third person, but he figures now is as good a time as any. He first picked up a camera about 8 years ago, while living overseas and traveling across strange new lands. At first it was simply a way to document the experience for him, but as time went on his love for it as an art form grew. Eventually it became so great that he put his life on hold to pursue it as a career. He went back to his alma mater (University of Nevada, Reno) and enrolled in Fine Art Photography courses. This only piqued his interest more and from here he went on to receive his certificate from the Hallmark Institute of Photography. He seems to live the life of a gypsy, moving across the land. Currently however, he calls Lake Tahoe home.
