About Us

Sharon and I work together as a team. I take the pictures and put them into the computer.

Sharon takes the pictures out of the computer and gets them to you.

Sharon i.e. The Boss

If you don’t know by now who the good-looking blonde is, just ask her. Her name is Sharon and she'll tell you she is the Boss. Sharon is also the webmaster for alphoto333, and handles all sales and marketing. Have you seen our new Hard Cover Proof Books it’s all her doing. Of course, on the job site she is ONLY the photo assistant. In all fairness, I must say she is one of the most creative persons I have ever worked with. She works well with people and being married to me, you know she has to have a sense of humor. Just think all that and she is good looking too.

Now I want To Talk

About Me

I took my first professional photograph in 1969. I was driving through Webb City MO. There was a service station on fire with two, five hundred gallon, above ground gas tanks. One of them exploded and I was the only one around with a camera. The Joplin News Harold paid me $15.00 for this photo. Photo Journalism is a tough way to make a living. However, it is my first love and thanks to people who buy copies of my photographs, I am able to continue.

I've been involved in photography since high school. Since then, I have managed studios and even owned my own. Here I am at my counter in Photography Place located at Sun City Center. I've worked as a child photographer, taken portraits for church directories and even worked a couple of years as a glamour photographer. This was a fun time in my life. There was a lot of traveling and I just got tired of the road. The good news is I learned a lot about how to photograph all you pretty women.
