Quinn
Quinn is the überdog: Good-natured, loyal, obedient, affectionate, never inappropriately aggressive nor submissive towards people or other dogs. He's a neutered male Boxer, 70 lbs., bred from the Boxer bloodline "Vel-Hi." His breeder notes his mom was especially calm for a Boxer, and Quinn apparently inherited that trait in spades.
He lives with me in central Austin, where we constantly mix with different people, different dogs, and different settings. We often go to bars, restaurants, and coffee shops with dog-friendly outside seating, and to local off-leash dog parks where he meets and socializes with other dogs.

Photography Portfolio Overview
I grew up working in my parents' print shop, using an ancient graphic camera to make negatives for printing plates. There I learned to dodge, burn, flash, mix chemicals and all of that stuff that's now obsolete to everyone but film purists.
In the same shop I'd later learn graphic design and develop sharpened visual sensibilities. Photoshop quickly became a tool for both work and play, and has continued in that role up to today.
These days I like to rely on the Adobe Camera RAW interface for correcting and enhancing images, using Photoshop for image manipulation, third-party filters and spot work. Of course I'm ready and willing to adapt to just about any workflow a particular job or assignment might require. Most of the samples here (except for product photography) were shot using natural light. I'm also experienced using studio strobes, hot lights, and on-camera flash with bounce and soft box techniques.
I have a good complement of professional grade gear that I'd happily use in any assignment, but I'm equally open to shoot with supplied gear.
Hope you like what you see!
