  • Biography

    I was born in Boston, MA on June 28th 1954. I lived in MA until I was 21 and moved to California. I spent the next 20 years in CA and moved to Kansas for three and then to Port Angeles WA.
    I purchased my first camera in CA back in 1975 and have owned many since. Mostly shot in small format and medium format. Black & white has always been my preference, although I do dabble in color from time to time.
    I swore that I would never go over to digital but I'm so impressed at the advances in this medium that I finally made the leap and don't regret it. The problem with going digital is that I must now learn post processing in Photoshop etc., although I am enjoying the challenge.
