My love of photography started at an early age. I worked on both the design and pictures for my
high school yearbook. In college I continued my photographic studies and set up my own darkroom.
I graduated from Pratt Institute in 1963 with a degree in Art Education and while in New York
I documented the "underground" film scene. My photographs appeared in Film Culture magazine.
Since I came to the Mendocino Coast in 1972 I've become interested in many phases of photography.
These include portrait, product, food, and architectural work. I also photograph paintings, sculpture,
and crafts for artists who need slides of their work for juried shows and for reproduction in books and posters.
