|
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. 1960-1961 New York University- Introductory Photography /Lab Assistant.
