Me

Art-making since '77

Origins

Initially fascinated by the shiny chrome and glass cameras I saw in the catalogs and shops as a boy, once I took a photography class in high school everything changed. The first time I saw an image come up in the developer tray, I was astonished by the magic and alchemy. Art, in all of its forms, quickly became a passion.

While many of the images on this site are digital, l've worked in silver-based photography for decades, both in my own art as well as in professional photo labs in NYC. I am once again wandering the world with my Rolleiflex and Mamiya RB67, (and a Holga on occasion), and printing in my darkroom. It's as magical as it was that first day in 10th grade.

As much as I love the sliver-based work, I've also embraced the digital for its quality, ease and portability. My Lumix is by my side almost all the time, and while I don't get to experience the alchemy of darkroom printing with the Canon Pro-1000, it does make beautiful prints.
