Thoughts on Current Photographs

Photographic images provide me a way to visualize memories and dreams, a means to slow time and enable meditation, and mirror the reconstruction of our own thoughts.  Photographs of travel often help break our own boundaries through the collisions of culture we encounter.

Artist Biography

I studied with Minor White in 1972 for a year after college, after which I moved on to graduate study in architecture and landscape architecture.  I practiced both for ten years, and then transitioned to real estate development and corporate real estate management for thirty five years.  I renewed my interest in photography in 2010 and have begun to show my work over the last five years.
