I got my first camera when I was 9 and haven't really put down a camera since. I graduated from Adelphi University with a BA in Biology where I spent many a long night doing scientific photography. After graduating, I spent a number of years involved in most forms of photography, photojournalism, weddings, portraits, fine art and commercial. I left photography as a full time occupation for software design for a decade or so then returned after realizing that eating regularly was highly over rated and all was not money and position. Since then I has been working with both lens and pinhole cameras from 35mm to 11x14. My work has been widely exhibited.
I became the head of the Photography Department at Peters Valley Craft Education
Center in Layton, NJ three years ago. This career move has managed to eat most
of my waking hours and many supposed sleeping ones but I wouldn't trade it for
the world.
I have participated in a number of shows and competitions over the years. Activities include the following exhibitions.
