Making something interesting from what can be seen every day

I have been interested in photography since high school when my Uncle Mal, an award-winning photographer, gave me a Minolta SLR and a couple of lenses and said, “Go to it.”

 From then on photography has been my medium of choice – creating and collecting.  But it remained a hobby until my work retirement and my wife’s death intersected.  The resulting months opened up a need for more creative expression.  Photography grew into a passion.

I grew up in New York City during the vibrant and disturbing ‘60s.  I moved frequently – New Jersey, Utah, Missouri, Michigan, Ontario, back to New York, and now North Carolina.  I think this and my extensive travel have given me a deeper perspective about people and the world.  I’ve tried to reflect that in my photography.

My work is eclectic, consisting of reworked images from my archive and new ones.  I add a new series of photographs to this website about every two months.

 To order notecard sets or custom prints of any images on my website and for exhibition inquiries please contact Peel Gallery in Carrboro, North Carolina.
