Discover My Story
Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1953, I spent much of my childhood with my grandparents in Locke, a small town in New York's Finger Lakes region. My grandfather's love of the outdoors sparked a lifelong passion for exploring the forests, streams, and mountains of the Northeast, where I continue to find both inspiration and solitude.
Although I have no formal training in the arts, I have been influenced by the work of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, whose vision helped establish photography as a true art form. Their belief that a photograph should express an artist's vision rather than simply record a scene continues to shape my approach.
Today, I strive to create images that are about a subject rather than merely of it—images that invite contemplation, provoke questions, and encourage viewers to discover their own meaning.
