I first started taking photos more than 40 years ago with my mother's old rangefinder camera. I studied photography at Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass, and it's there that I started playing with Infrared photography.

In 2020 I became legally blind due to Stargart's Disease, a genetic disease of the retina. Luckily I still have peripheral vision and can still take photos, it's just slower and more challenging now.

My main passions these days are:

* Landscape photography with my Olympus OMD-EM1 Mk iii

* Infrared photography with my Olympus OMD-EM5 Mk ii, full-spectrum converted by Kholari Vision.

* Hipstography (mostly B&W), also with my iPhone 12 ProMax.
