I have been creating images since I could hold a crayon, and at nine I received my first camera.  It merged my budding interests in science, technology, history, and art into one magnificent instrument.  I went on to study photography and eventually earned my degree in Visual Communications. 

 

My creative vision has grown as I have grown.  It changes and matures with me over time, but my goal remains the same.  I hope to capture the intimate way light washes and embraces, exposing shapes and textures that may go unnoticed by casual observers.  I prefer natural light and shoot scenes “as found” whenever possible.  Photoshop is used sparingly, more like a digital darkroom rather than a medium.

 

During the 1990s, my photographs were published in Car And Driver Magazine and Rochester’s Democrat & Chronicle newspaper.  I also entered my first two contests, placing second in one and receiving an honorable mention in the other.  Then in 1998 I put away my cameras.

 

In 2007 I began shooting again, this time in digital.  In my galleries you can see some of my recent images, along with some of my older works captured on film.  I don’t expect you will like all of them, but I have tried to include something for everyone.  Well I’m sure it is not my words that you are interested in, so I will let my images do the talking…
