I bring 40 years of experience in photography, with 30+ of this on a professional level, with a range of skills, in a range of formats. At times, this craft has helped me pay bills and feed my family. At times, it has served nicely as an escape from my day-to-day life as a commercial/industrial electrician and project foreman. Despite this long tenure with the camera, I still very much consider myself to be a 'work-in-progress,' still learning and exploring, still adapting, and still challenging myself to keep stretching and discovering.

One favored instructor I dealt with – Carmel’s Al Weber – etched the term of ‘attitude’ in me: how I approach photography; how I approach my imagery – my outlook, my focus, my conveyance of the 'why' of the image. There’s far more to getting a satisfactory image than pushing a button.

I've recently updated the photos, sets and collections here, to start "painting" a better picture of the extent of my camera work. It crosses many styles and genres, since my interests in life do likewise.
