My philosophy on photography started with the quality and work ethic of my father Fred Spurlin.
Dad was a university and college photography professor, as well as the Panama Canal Zone Deputy Superintendent of Schools who always encouraged me to pick up the camera. From the day I picked up that camera I was hooked.
After 36 years of working the global photography scene I am taking my photography to the roads of these United States Of America.
