I am a fine art photographer who lives in the Village of Trumansburg, NY.
My images are designed to inspire the viewer to share my sense of awe and wonder of both the great outdoors and every day, ordinary life.
I earned my B.A. degree in English Writing Arts from SUNY Oswego in 1993. In 2003, I went on to pursue a M.A. degree in Counseling and Somatic Psychology from John F. Kennedy University.
I first fell in love with photography back in high school when I learned to develop black and white film in the dark room and had one of my photos featured in the school's literary magazine. I was completely hooked, but it would take me over twenty-five years of working in the business world before I could pursue photography full time.
For the last few years, I have been refamiliarizing myself with DSLR cameras and am continuing to develop my post processing skills using Light Room Adobe. I make all fine art prints myself using a professional grade Canon printer and a variety of Moab fine art archival papers so my images will not discolor or fade with age.
My camera is just an extension of how I see the world and is shared through my images. I find that there is a simplicity in life that can only be seen and felt when we are in the seat of the observer. I love capturing the dance between shadow and light, whether it's being witness to a raging waterfall or a moonlit street on a rainy night. This dance is a compelling mystery that produces endless beauty and awe.
