I started out in Brooklyn with these two cameras: a Kodak Instamatic and a Polaroid Swinger. By the end of my teens, I was shooting, processing, and printing 35mm. I majored in Cinema & Photography at college but regretfully lacked the confidence of making a decent living with it. The next four decades were spent in the business of mass media, from The Boston Globe to NBC, and photography was placed on the back burner.

But I knew there was a life lesson there... when dreams go on the back burner, make sure to keep it simmering, stir it occasionally, and be ready to serve when you have the need to be fed. So, with retirement, came the opportunity to learn, explore and shoot on my own terms. 

My personal style has been described as observational, seeking the human element, coupled with visual play. I am drawn to the qualities that this process requires: living with curiosity, encouraging higher levels of internal and external awareness, experiencing the adrenaline rush when pressing the shutter and, as a throwback to my corporate life, managing the self-discipline of the post process workflow.
