“I see photos everywhere I look, all day and all night. I frame the visual without even trying, it just makes seeing more enjoyable. I have frames around almost everything I see. I don't ponder the framing, it just happens. Life is one large rich gallery to me.” 

Schooled first as an artist/illustrator and designer, I soon became interested in photography, in the early 70’s.  It resonated with me.  I had some experiences as far back as junior high school and those have always stuck with me.  The line between all of these disciplines is a very fine one…they are visual and they all work, and play, well together.  With the advent of computers, especially Macintosh, my world quickly became digital and in the last fifteen years this has included photography.  I was an early adopter of digital and a staunch champion of it since the time I saw what it could do versus film.  I have spent countless hours shooting and experimenting with the ultimate capture of images with digital cameras.  Capturing it so it looks on the monitor, or in a print, as it is perceived by your eye and mind.  I have traveled extensively and I also lived in California for thirty years.  My work and articles have been published in major trade magazines and books.
