Welcome to my portfolio and my autobiography. Each image that you view on this site is a piece of my life. These are not just pictures of something I saw and artistically exploited; it’s the way I connect into this world. I consider myself very fortunate to see the beauty in so many facets of this world.
   Others blessed with this gift have inspired me. Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus and Henri Cartier-Bresson are some of the classic photographic artists who have had a profound influence on my work. There can also be little doubt that the California cool attitude has also has an impression on me. In an effort to not sound sappy you can just include my family and friends with no further explanations.
   As you enjoy these images, I encourage you to find your own connection with them. The feeling of having art move you emotionally is very special and each of us will see things through the prism of his or her own experience. Please feel free to click "contact" and let me know what has impacted you.
