About me
I have been a photographer for most of my life. I've been making images since I was nine years old, but my real education started in 1982 when I attended the Ansel Adams workshop in Carmel, California. I've been making fine art images non-stop since then.
I spent 40 years as a designer / animator for the television industry in Hollywood, so my profession melded beautifully with my favorite pastime. I now live in Astoria, Oregon, and love the ever-changing light that makes this area so magical.
This body of work has been evolving for over 40 years and has come to fruition in this portfolio of images I share with you now. I am represented by LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, Oregon. All images are available for purchase by contacting me or the Gallery.
