Bio

I began making photographs since the late 1960's when my father introduced me to the joys of 35mm photography with a Miranda camera and Tri-X film.

I have not had formal training in photography. I once worked for a family portrait studio where I learned how to set up the lights and throw a toy into the air to get the baby to look up while I pushed the button.

My pictures have appeared in various publications and gallery shows. In the early eighties I travelled with roll film and 4x5 cameras in the trunk of my car photographing the diners of New England. A few of those photos are on this site.

I was developer and curator of the RECYCLE Gallery of Industrial Art at the Boston Children's Museum and served as a guest curator for an exhibition in New York City funded by the Nathan Cummings Foundation.

In the late eighties and early nineties I played the mandolin in a professional bluegrass band and after that I worked in the music products business.

I live in the town of Wellfleet, on the outer edge of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The light here is spectacular for photography. My "day job" is in sustainable aquaculture -- growing clams. It seems to me sometimes that almost everyone in Wellfleet is (or once was) an artist or shell-fisherman or both.. I give occasional mandolin lessons and continue to obsessively make photographs.
