ABOUT ME 05/2024
Welcome to my website. I use photography for personal exploration, to explore the world and record my perceptions of the things in it that hold meaning for me. With landscape, the more I explore, the more I see the subtle connectedness and timing between things in nature. Recording that in a meaningful way holds meaning for me.
I grew up in a beach community in Miller Place on Long Island Sound. We spent a lot of time at the beach and out on water. Growing up near water, I developed a preference for it and was glad to be back. This year marks my 10th year living on Long Island. Gradually, I’ve narrowed my focus to Long Island Sound and several north & south shore bay, harbor and wetland estuaries I like to revisit here in eastern Long Island. Some are places in the heart - Cedar Beach, West Meadow Beach, Landing Beach in Miller Place and Mount Sinai Harbor, while others appeal to me in similar ways. Some of my images are completely about nature and others include man-made objects in built environments on or near water. In revisiting particular places, I can develop a better sense of how the quality of light and weather will affect the scene and objects I find there.
I use Canon 35mm pro cameras/lenses and occasionally an iPhone 13 Pro Max. While iPhone can't offer the same resolute sharpness as 35mm, a well exposed picture will print to 16 x 20. These images are priced lower.
All 35mm images have been reduced for high speed multiple device viewing. If any appear slightly pixelated it's for that reason, but large professional prints will be sharp.
My images are available in a variety of materials and formats including archival paper prints, canvas wraps, metal and acrylic prints and as digital downloads. Pricing for editorial/commercial use is guided by the American Society of Media Photographers.

My background is photojournalism, a BFA/Painting from SUNY Purchase and an MSLIS/Library Science degree from LIU.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy my work.
