I am a retired music teacher of thirty-five years. My photography business (Universal Creations) has been established since 1979. Our photography includes the following dimensions; portraits, weddings, senior portraits, commercials of all kinds, college and high school sport teams and individuals, action sport photos in all areas, family reunions, class reunions, store grand openings, nature and scenic photos, press and photo journalism, modeling portraits, and slide presentations. We use a super camcorder, thirty-five mm cameras, digital video and still cameras, and medium format cameras. Quality and satisfaction are our goals.

We have gone on special photo journalistic press pass assignments to Marshall Space Flight Center (Huntsville, Alabama), to several shuttle launches at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
