Light/shadow, Reflection/Actual, Expansive/Isolated.
My subject matter varies; there is no one thing I look for.
Life interests me, little things interest me, people interest me etc.
I just try to capture a moment in time and show what I see.

Flowers, people, landscape or just things that grow, I shoot what strikes me and try to show you what I “saw” in that moment.

I am basically self-taught, having taken some adult education courses and photography workshops.  Most of my “education” is from just doing what I love to do.  Currently, the internet is a prime source of new knowledge, a place where I can find information to pursue new techniques, materials and methods to produce a final print. I also served as a member of the Somerville Arts Council (2003 – 2006), which allowed me to participate in the planning and conducting of many community events including ArtBeat, the Illuminations Tour, the Union Square Affair and also the reviewing of applications and the awarding of annual fellowships and grants to area artists.
