In loving memory of Charline, my beloved wife of 46 years, who passed away on January 26, 2024. Charline was deeply devoted to her family and made lasting contributions to educational and historical organizations throughout Orange County and beyond. She is dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

After earning a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, I spent 35 years designing advanced integrated circuits for the military, medical, telecommunications, and computer industries. Photography remained a lifelong passion, even though time rarely allowed me to pursue it professionally.

In mid-2018, I suffered a life-threatening reaction to a prescribed medication, which led to severe pneumonia and a long period of recovery. After receiving a pacemaker in 2019, I began a new chapter, thankful for modern medicine and a renewed lease on life.

Freed from commercial constraints, I now focus on videography as a creative and collaborative hobby. While I have no interest in monetizing the work myself, I wholeheartedly support models using our collaborative content for their professional endeavors, with no expectation of compensation or shared earnings.

My studio is equipped with a Sony FDR-AX100 4K camera and modern LED lighting panels, which deliver consistent lighting even during Southern Californias hottest days.

At the suggestion of several professional models, I retired my green screen and now use my garage door as the primary backdrop. This simple change greatly streamlines post-production and makes it easier for models to monetize the resulting footage on their preferred platforms.
