I have studied drawing, painting, and art history in places as disparate as an artist's back room, the Art Students League of New York,...d Harvard. I am also a practicing psychologist attuned to expression, interaction, emotion, personality, body language--life. As a seasoned traveler and hiker, I have photographed urban scenes and natural landscapes extensively.
Photography and I go back a long way, although, reactive to darkroom fumes, in the film age I reached a limit. Since 2006 I have been working in the digital format, shooting for clients who have found me by word of mouth or through my images. My photographs have appeared in Parade Magazine, Condé Nast Portfolio, Piano News, and other periodicals, as well as in annual reports or other publications of YouthBuild USA, the Skoll Foundation, Tonar Music, Hospicare of Ithaca, Bridge Records, the Cleveland Orchestra, and Compos Mentis. I have also done commissioned work for Indigo Films.
While assignments have taken me to locations around the country, day to day the action is closer to home in central New York, where wedding, event, portrait, and family/lifestyle photography have been the heart of my activities. By a cascade of events, what began as a passionate avocation quickly outgrew its confines and became a calling.
