I am American and Israeli, currently living in Haifa, originally from Philadelphia, and have lived in many different places over many years. I am married with two grown daughters. My occupations have included software development and design, management of software development and support processes, agriculture, textile production, and the military. Since my retirement, I have been focusing more on writing.

My interests include family, history and politics, travel, and the way people interact with each other and their environments.

I have had an interest in photography since I bought my first Minolta SLR as a teenager in the 1970's, primarily as a medium to record events, time, and place. After purchasing my first Nikon DSLR and discovering photography on the Internet, I have taken interest in technique and quality (but if necessary, I'll sacrifice them to record the moment).

Most of my photographs without recognizable images of people are available for non-commercial and non-political use, subject to attribution. Please contact me if you want to use my photos for other purposes or for any use of copyrighted © images.
