I have been interested in photography ever since I was a teenager in San Francisco in the late 1950's. Over the years since then, I have lived in a variety of places and regularly taken pictures of the environments where I lived. During the late 1960's I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nigeria and Liberia and greatly enjoyed my experiences and the people I met.

I was an instructor in Educational Media and phography at Boston University for several years. I have worked for many years in graphic design and publishing and regularly do photography for publications.

I have had exhibits in Boston and San Francisco and had images in traveling shows and won some major competitions. However, it is only recently that I have been able to scan my negatives electronically and bring them together in a more comprehensive collection. I hope you enjoy them, and I welcome your feedback.

I am also a mandolin player and composer. Links to groups I am connected with are listed below.
