About my work

My approach to photography             

is with an artist’s eye and a photojournalist’s visual storytelling. My work is driven by what I see and how that makes me feel. I can only hope that how I express that touches the viewer in some way.

I have been a photographer, writer, 

and artist for more than 35 years. I earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in photography from Arizona State University and studied digital photography at Pierce College-Fort Steilacoom in Washington. I lived and worked in Arizona for many years.

My work is often focused on place, 

the environment where people, animals, and plants live. I grew up in  Bordentown, New Jersey, a town founded in 1682. The tree in this composite self-portrait is a 400-year-old pin oak near my childhood home that was taken when I was 20. If you look carefully in the camera lens, you will see an image of me at age 2, paging through  a newspaper.
