I received my first camera at age six, majored in photography in college, worked as an assistant to photographers in NYC for several years, opened a studio in 1980 and shot commercial/advertising work for 35 years. Since leaving the commercial world I have worked on numerous personal projects. For the last five years I have been shooting the US east coast from Key West to Maine. My intent with this project is to evoke emotion, love and respect for wild places near the sea.
