I'm a New York-born and based photographer. Photography began for me with a Kodak Hawkeye around the age of 7 and got serious when I was 12 and purchased a second-hand Voigtlander Vito C. At 13 I graduated to the venerable Minolta srT101 and proceeded to photograph the turbulent late 1960s and early '70s in New York with special attention to the raucous alternative antics in Central Park.
In the mid to late '70s I worked as an event photographer and had the opportunity to photograph some notable political figures (see the
Celebrity gallery).
After an absence of many years I returned to photography in 1999, forsaking film for digital. Initially drawn to images of the South Jersey shore, I quickly returned to capturing the often unobserved minutiae of daily life on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Recent projects include the
Sidewalks of NY, the small epiphanies of
Urban Epiphanies and
Broadway Blog, a series of photographs of people living and working on Upper Broadway.
