I have been taking photos since age 10 when my uncle gifted me an Instamatic 100 camera. I enjoy travel photography, event, news, and live theater photography as well as capturing anything beautiful, interesting and emotional. I have been fortunate to have won several photography awards. I am also a stock photographer for three Getty Images sites. My photos have been purchased worldwide. I have raised money for numerous charities via silent auctions of my photographs. I organize and lead trips to Italy after having lived there for six years. I continue to see the world through my lenses.
