Good morning and salutations. My name is Artie. I am a bay area native, Paramedic, Rescue SCUBA Diver, Skydiver, consumer of ice cream, but you are probably on this web page because I am also a photographer. Working on the ambulance will give you a real life perspective of what it means to be alive. It teaches you that tomorrow isn't a guaranteed thing. I try to reflect that in my photography by taking pictures of life at its fullest.
