Biography

I am a semi-professional photographer who specializes in travel, landscape, cityscape, wildlife, and candid street photography.  I have a large library of photographs from around the world that I have collected over the past 20 years covering a broad range of locales and subjects.

While most of my work is color photography, for many subjects my preferred medium is black and white.  To my eye, monochrome images can oftentimes convey the story in a more visually striking and dramatic context, while at the same time, providing a simpler and less complicated image to the viewer.  Sometimes, color distracts from the story.

I primarily learned photography from reading books on photography, studying the work of other photographers, and much trial and error.
