Photography has never been just a profession for me, but more like a way of life. I have never been interested in photography only because of the technical equipment necessary to perform it, although I do need to know quite a bit of technical jargon to do it properly. It has always been the subject matter that has attracted me first and foremost. No matter what life's experience is, I can always find a way to experience it photographically. Because of this I have been able to choose subjects that not only interest me, but challenge me visually and emotionally.

When people ask me the standard question, "what kind of photography do you do?", I am always somewhat stumped as to how to answer their question in an honest way. I can list all of the subjects I have worked with: Landscapes, Cityscapes, Architecture, Portraits, Nudes, Candid photographs of people on the street, Still Life, Dance, and Abstract. For me it is not really important what I photograph, but rather how I approach and work with the subject. Each new subject requires careful study: first technically, to understand how I am going to get the subject on film; and then emotionally, to find the essence of the subject. Finally, I always allow room for the serendipitous mistakes in technique and vision that open new horizons of unseen and un-thought-of possibilities.

My studio in downtown Waltham, Massachusetts is in a historic mill complex that is now filled with artists. I have been a photographer for over twenty years and have been honored by a number of awards for my work. Freelancing, commissions, print sales, teaching and portrait work are the various ways I have earned a living doing what I love to do. As I continue to work and learn, new horizons are always opening for me, revealing insights that I never knew existed.
