About

Over four decades ago in Los Angeles, I discovered photography, and since that moment of seeing my first image develop in the darkroom, I have been impassioned about this magical medium. 

Fast forward through those forty years to San Diego, where I am still practicing my craft, creating and exhibiting my photographs. I am a working photographer sharing my energy on these pages with the hope that my images inspire you to see, to experience and to capture images that reflect your personal vision. It is this power of the individual voice—-one’s unique vantage point on the world that fuels us all to be the best we can be both as photographers-artists but also as extraordinary human beings.

We all carry a camera masquerading as a phone and this phenomenon has caused the  photographic medium to become viral in its availability for everyone to instantaneously share via the internet, one’s voice and vision—-often with no boundaries. Therefore we must aspire to apply the tenets of visual literacy, critical thinking, knowledge of the rich history of the medium and the social responsibility within the power of photography. One image can immediately touch many so it’s our mission as responsible photographers to guide and enrich the world with our pictures as well as recognize our future is filled with the possibilities within photography to see and perhaps change the challenging times ahead.
