Bio
I carry a camera almost everywhere I go. On my website are some of the images that caught my eye or were shot as part of an assignment. In 1971 or 1972, when I was 9 or 10, my brother-in-law Michael, introduced me to the camera on the back stoop of our home in Timonium, Maryland. Though he may not have known it, he changed my life. The camera has been an extension of my right hand ever since. I am currently based in Louisville, Kentucky and traveling as often as I can.
Where Did I Go?
Life happened... I slowed down my shooting and I am ever thankful I did as I have two wonderful kids who joined us in 1993 and 1997. Two kids meant delivering a more steady stream of income. So, in order to provide, I gladly accepted opportunities that did not involve me and my camera. I still shot photos, but not as a full time gig.
What's Next?
My kids are grown and adults now. While I like to think they still need me, they are soaring on their own. I now find myself with the unique opportunity to return to photojournalism and have elected to do so with gusto.
I am developing several photo projects that will be published or shared in some form or fashion.
