Finally settled in Hernando Florida

We have finally settled into our new home here in Hernando Florida....It's been quite a trip, long time coming and very painful.

Moving on...this part of Florida is beautiful!  I don't think we could have picked a better area to start our new adventure.  The people here are very nice, the gym I belong to is beyond what I used to belong too....

I'm excited about bringing my photography business to Hernando and Citrus County as well as taking care of my photography business in NY as well....but this is now my home.

A bit about myself, I have been a photographer for 30 plus years, never thought I would be a photographer let alone own my own photography business.  It started when I was in the Marine Corps, running through the hill of Turkey during a NATO exercise, saw some guy in the same uniform I had on running around taking photographs.  Next thing you know that's what I'm doing in the Marine Corps...for the next 20 years I was a Combat Photographer.  After retiring the family packed it up and moved back to our roots...Buffalo, NY.  I worked as a videographer for the local CBS station for 12 years.  Then it was time to get back to what I enjoyed doing...I then started MatchStick Photography.

Most Photographers select their own names for their studios....not me....a match stick burning signifies the use of natural light to provide the mood and texture of people, places, and things...I love my name...but MatchStick Photography signifies my ideals about the use of natural light.

Creating memories makes my job so enjoyable, makes me want to go to work.  I keep my costs as low as I can, my center of operation is located in my house, all my jobs are done on location unless someone provides me some product that needs to be photographed in a neutral setting.  My Company is my name, I don't overbook myself....I provide the care and service that you pay for....lets face it it's not cheap hiring a photographer and you should get what you pay for.  You go cheap...you get cheap!

My favorite is capturing a wedding, although it's a tremendous amount of work in the end when the Bride and Groom get to see what happened that day, and they relive the entire day...it's the most gratifying feeling in the world.

I shoot it all...from weddings to landscape's, my goal is to provide you with those memories or product you will have forever.

One thing I do that I make sure everybody knows is provide a military discount for those who are in service of our country......Other discounts also apply from time to time...for others.  Settled
