Chuck Jones, Christmas – 2011

I am a Photographer,  mostly photojournalistic or documentary reportage in style.  I am an Adventurer, both in spirit and deeds.  I’m an Entrepreneur; a Dreamer; a Visionary; an Inventor.  Driving it all, I am a Storyteller.  I’m a Technologist.  I’m  a Brand Marketeer.  I’m adding writer, publisher, and producer.   I am, and have always been, a Pioneer  - you can tell from counting the arrows in my back.  I’m an optimist who’s yet to do my best work.  My preferred mix is portraiture, photojournalism, and street photography.  I shoot reportage – live events.  I tell stories.  I’ve also spun more than a few Brand tales.

I use whatever technology is useful to a story.  My constant companion, my Leica M9 with a 21mm f/1.4 Summilux.  I adore ultra-wide angle lenses, but in the end if the work is fabulous nobody cares what cameras were used to shoot it, or what Web 3.0 technology was employed to show it. 

I am a researcher of many things.  Of people, technology and most things marketing related.  My curiosity knows few bounds…  I work to stay young of heart, sound of mind, ever creating while exploring all that life has to offer.  I’ve achieved milestones; failed at others. I’m living proof whatever doesn’t kill you only serves to make you stronger.  I love new, complex projects that push the edges that define “The Box.”  I do not see boundaries in the execution of creative visions; I see challenges.  I excel at walking the roads less traveled.

My office and Studio is located in Oakland, CA. On the East Bay, where the sun shines most of the time and the light is great.  Thank you for taking the time reading this, it’s appreciated!

Warmest Regards, and have a GREAT day!
