I have never limited myself to a specific type of image. Some are simply beautiful, some tell a clear story, and others are ambiguous. I know I have succeeded when an image I have created causes someone to stop and look, and possibly to reflect a bit.

As a 13 year old back in the 1950s, I learned the basics of photography from my uncle while working at his studio in Newark, New Jersey. Throughout high school I worked with him and other photographers, shooting and processing weddings, portraits and various commercial jobs. I also started my own business, using an ironing board on top of the bathtub at home, my makeshift darkroom, when Uncle Harry's place was not available.

After high school I was a Naval Aviation Photographer for three years, with a wide variety of assignments, including processing and printing many of the Cuban Missile Crisis photographs. I then helped work my way through college as a photographer, but soon was sidetracked by full-time employment, marriage, children, and a 31 year career as an attorney. Photography was put on hold.

When my wife and I moved to New Hope, Pennsylvania at the end of 2005, I realized how much I missed my former intense involvement with photography. I purchased a Nikon digital camera and discovered that I had not lost my eye for the good shots. I haven't stopped shooting since, and always have my camera with me.

In March and April of 2007, my work was exhibited and sold at a one-person show in New Hope, with a percentage of the proceeds donated to a hospital. In May of that year, two of the four images I submitted (Dusk on the River and Passer-by on Swan Street) were selected by the jury for inclusion in the 15^th Annual Phillips' Mill Photographic Exhibition. One of the other two (Eve) was voted Best in Show from among the nearly 850 other entries that were not selected for the main Exhibition.
