I have shot thousands of rolls of film, more photos than many photographers can even contemplate. I now shoot digitally to deliver the product quickly but still with high quality. I did not change to digital photography until it had reached a level that I considered satisfactory. Now, I even teach digital photography classes at Richland College.

Along the way I picked up more than my share of awards: Multiple award-winning photojournalist in California from the California Newspaper Publishers Association, including: Two separate Best Sports Photo, Best Spot News Photo, Best Feature Photo, Best Photo Essay, Best Use of Photographs in a Newspaper. I also have awards of similar nature from the Nevada Newspaper Association.

Krystal: My wife works with me on many photo assignments, providing another eye and helping with the lighting set-ups to facilitate the speed of the shoot. She also shoots, being an accomplished photographer who is growing in her own right as a photographer. She is learning the best way possible, not by studying books but by doing photography.
