My live-long love for photography  was extended when given the opportunity to join the Buffalonews.com team, where I was an award-winning photographer covering events throughout the area and was their go-to photographer on the concert scene, capturing electrifying moments at Darien Lake, Artpark, Shea's  and local casinos. I would 'pre-game' prior to receiving my press pass and get into the photographer pit by interacting with the concert goers and this interaction, honed my style and only increased my passion for photography. At a live event, anything can and will happen, causing you to anticipate the action and be quick on your feet. All key points to make a superior event photographer.
