” In my work as a concert musician and music educator, I teach about the aesthetic tools of rhythm, color and composition to audiences and private students alike. In my work as a nationally-recognized photography professional, I teach about lighting and composition in environmental portraiture. For me, such tools are the essence of both music and photography.”
