I would like to see myself as an innovator who creates powerful imagery in fresh
ways be that video, photography or traditional drawing. My expertise in 3D computer graphics and
3d photography give me an edge over many other photographers. My day
job sometimes involves teach video editing and camera work along with many other
aspects of media. At the moment I have outgrown my job as a media technician and have
no current wish to teach full time at a FE college either.
My favourite job at the college is teaching a life drawing evening class (Monday evening)
. Currently I most enjoying planning out my next set of images which I cannot wait to
get started on. Creating web pages may end up being my vocation, I have always pleased the clients
with my results and I am now proficiant at using CSS and Flash.
