ABOUT

I grew up just outside of New York City and moved to Bedford, Massachusetts in 1980. My love of photography came from my father. As a young child my earliest memories are my father using his Leica M3 and Gossen light meter while taking wonderful photographs of family and cityscapes. As I got a little older and with his supervision, he would let me use it, though not very well. In the 1970’s he traded in his M3 for a Leicaflex, an SLR. As I was now a late teen, he generously let me borrow it regularly. I would use it to photograph friends and landscapes as well. My father also took me to exhibits of famous photographers such as Steichin and Steiglitz. Seeing these images opened my mind to the artistry of photography. Photography then took a back burner to raising a family and running a chiropractic practice. During this period, my photography was limited to family and vacations. Since my retirement in 2016, I reunited with my love of photography. As a member of the BCA Photo Group, I have been able to expand my knowledge and craft as a photographer. I mainly photograph people but also work with photomontage. My hope is that the images I create draw the viewer in.
