Passion and Perseverance

Thank you for taking the time to view my website. It is dated now and needs a seriously make over. Only the blog is relatively current, the rest dates to 2012 and really needs a re boot. And thank you for your kind words. My life has been an interesting journey. I did take a lot of risks, but I…

GSOH

Noodling around in my archives of film, I am trying to decide what to trash and what to preserve. I find little ditties like this. It was spring of 1976, in the final days of college at the University of Cincinnati. My best friend Mark Giambrone and I were about to head out into the world. So to commemorate the occasion…

An Audience of One

I make images of what makes me feel good, always have. Commercial photography is about problem solving and meeting budges and clients expectations.

Enchilladas with Richard

During the past year I helped my friend Richard produce a show of his work for exhibition in December in downtown Seattle. He created iPad drawings and it was my task to be the technical support to move the images from his device to ink on paper. It was a lot of fun, I learned a lot and I simply…

The Moment When You Know

Your travel stories made me a little homesick. I know I only lived in DC a few years, but it is not only where I really grew up and came of age, but it was there that I embarked on my journey with photography. I was naïve about it all and yet so excited by the possibilities. I have a…

The Color of Morning 20 August 2016

Yesterday morning I had a recollection of arriving in Rome. It was Friday and for five years I always arrived on Friday morning, sometime in late August. But the last time was five years ago. And yet, this time of year, I always recall arriving in Rome. Jet lagged, tired, and often culture shocked. But I always loved it, especially…
