Photographer | Greg's Portfolio | Des Moines, WA.
Born: September 1959
in Spartanburg, S.C. Moved to Wayzata, MN. 1963, Then moved to Puget Sound Area of the Washington State in 1968. Lived north and south of the Puget Sound area since. Moved up to ten or more times, from 6 months in one Abode, to 12 years in another.
I have attended up to 18 or more years in Community Colleges thru out the Puget Sound area. From University of Puget Sound(a four year institution)(1980), to 6 months accredited courses in one community college. I used 4 years in a Bellevue College to earn a General Studies Degree(AA)(1984). Spent 3 years to learn CAD Drafting at Bellingham Voc. Tech. and Radio Show Announcing at KUGS, Bellingham(1990) I used 4 years to achieve Degree in Web Design(AA) and Web Programming(also AA) at Lake Washington Technical College(2001). First college I attended was Seattle Central College during my senior year in my precollege school :
Overlake School in Redmond, WA.(1978) Then and later I received some of my strongest Photography education at Seattle Central College(2009) My studies ranged from Surveying, Photography, Architectural Drafting to Ornamental Horticulture, so on. Photography is my main activity in my older years. Retired now in the working world in 2025+
Photo of Photographer below was by Brigham Johnson. A Relative.
I've been employed a majority of the time while in school. Starting as Bag Boy at Tradewell Grocery Stores in the Puget Sound area to Being a Medical Courier Delivery driver for Courier One Couriers. I worked with many Temporary Services While also being directly employed for many companies. The longest I worked with any one company is 4 years.
I started into Photography in my elementary years, but really took off at my Precollege school of Overlake School in Redmond, WA. I have been fairly consistent at Photography, but much of my work has been lost due to issues out of my control and moving so often.
Please consider me a Freelancer for any of your occasions who will do specific, detailed work of any project if needed. Thank you. Greg.

Pay is mixed for all jobs, but standard is $50 Per Hour for me on small local jobs, or agreed upon for any other big job.
Web Design should be considered highly expensive skill when Photography is included. Original photos taken by the web designer for a specific web page needs be specific to the customers interest. Taking Photography and including it in the web page for the customer requires interpreting what the customer wants with communication skills. But the added expense of the job will relate on how much time is given in working with the customer to do the work for the contract. This relates to the quality and skilled experience placed into doing a contract for good work for the customer. My experience!
