I’m a contemporary landscape photographer. My images are about light, space, mood and sense of place in eastern Long Island, NY. I photograph natural and built environments and often combine the two. Growing up in one of the private beach communities in walking distance to Long Island Sound left a big imprint. I'm attracted to the sea and open spaces altered by light and atmospheric effects. Objects placed or found there are part of what defines a place and adds pictorial and sometimes historic interest.

Most of the beach communities here are a throwback to when Long Island was an escape route out of New York City for vacation and weekend getaways and for growing families seeking a "better place to raise their kids." In the 60's-70's, when I was growing up, Suffolk County changed from rural to suburban as development shifted further east. My dad's work designing and landscaping new home properties provided a way of seeing suburban housing and developments in relationship to the larger American Landscape - past and present.

*Please note: Image files on this site are reduced for speed of upload delivery, which can sometimes cause images to appear a bit unsharp. I use Canon 35mm pro cameras/lenses and currently, an iPhone 13 Pro Max. While iPhone can't offer the same resolute sharpness as 35mm, a well exposed picture can be printed up to 16 x 20. Images are printed at a pro shop in Michigan and available as archival paper prints, canvas wraps, metal and acrylic prints. I ship standard & custom size prints anywhere.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy!
