About

Background
I am a Minneapolis photographer specializing in Digital Dental Photography.  I also shoot professionally for several area theaters and have a special interest in Macro photography.

My 20 years sales experience at National Camera Exchange, a leading photo retailer in the Midwest, has kept me at the cutting edge of Digital Photo Technology. While there, I developed a Digital Dental Photography department, managed and attended numerous national dental trade shows, and created a Digital Dental Camera Kit based on Canon G series cameras.

I have nine years experience in the Dental Industry giving seminars and presentations about digital photography.  I’ve also created a series of Dental Photography Tutorials.  I use a casual approach and colloquial dialogue which makes learning about digital photography a “piece of cake”!

    Hi Rick,
    I just found out that you no longer at National Camera. You set me up with a Canon EOS 40D and a LCD screen protector. I am very pleased with the results and use PS3 Adobe Photoshop for manipulation. I have a Schott glass SP 8301 LCD screen protector by Giottos and would like to see if I could get one for an Olympus camera that has a screen size of 2 3/8 inches (60mm) x 1 3/4 inches (46mm). My office number is 715-387-1702, ext 1740 or better yet my cell phone is 715-305-4866.

    Thank you,

    Steve
