I am a self-taught photographer from Washington, NJ. I love to photograph, children, old barns and mills, wildlife and historical places. Often I attend historical reenactments and photograph the people dressed in period attire.

My ‘Toucan’ photo won 1st place in Smithsonian’s 6th Annual Photo Contest and hung in the Castle Museum in 2009 along with all the other winners. It was also published in Smithsonian Magazine. Here is an article written about my photo from the above contest.- blogs.smithsonianmag.com/aroundthemall/2009/03/reinventin...

I have also had several of my images published in other magazines. Outdoor Photographer, Digital Photographer and Birds And Blooms magazines to name a few.
