Artist Resume

For over 40 years I have been honing my skills as a photographer: taking photos on my travels around the world using 35mm, 4x5, and digital formats, as well as developing color enlargements using both dye destruction and chromogenic processes, and printing black and white images.

My first assignments as a professional photographer were as a teenager covering rock concerts and members of Congress freelancing for the Baltimore Sun newspaper. More recently, I am focusing on fine art photography and new, non-traditional presentation methods. My images are exhibited in private collections across the country.
