Photography Experience: I've been doing photography for the past seven or eight years. I've had one basic photography class that didn't teach me very much. Everything else I've learned by osmosis from some excellent photographers. I've done work for the Democratic Party of Illinois photographing then Vice President Al Gore, freelance photography for the Illinois Times a small weekly newspaper in Springfield, weddings for Dean Williams Photography, and a number of varied photography jobs. Currently doing work for Portland Online MusicNet and other freelance work.
