I first became interested in photography in 1966, at the age of 18, when I went into the United States Marine Corps. I later attended workshops taught by Ansel Adams and Morley Baer, fueling my interest into passion. The idea of capturing a moment in time fascinated me and has continued to do so for the last 44 years.

In that time, I have come to understand that whenever the left side of the brain attempts to describe what the right side does and why, it will, as a rule, completely miss its mark.

My work has been exhibited at venues such as The Morris Graves Museum of Art (CA), Alpan Gallery (NY), Viridian Artists Gallery (NY), CameraArts Magazine, Fraser Gallery (MD), Washington Gallery of Photography (MD), Denver Int'l Airport (CO), and Old Town Art Gallery (Eureka, CA), numerous juried competitions, among others.

With regard to my photography, I can only say this: I long ago learned that the images that mean the most to me are ones to which I'm emotionally connected. Whether the subject is a flower, a brick wall, or an anchor, it's my emotional and not my intellectual response that leads to dynamic images. We all have an intellectual response to art but it's the emotion we feel when viewing a painting, sculpture or photograph that burns the deepest within our psyches.
Art without emotion is mathematics.
