I make images using photography. For me, photography is capturing the moment, which through the lens is a totally different perspective than just being there. It is a look, an angle or just a special mix of shapes and shades. When I shoot, I like to spend time where I am to absorb the spirit of it all and then it just happens.
I shoot with a Canon EOS 5D digital full frame single lens reflex camera. I utilize Adobe Light Room to make small adjustments to the image to produce just the right result….that is, right for me, for that is why I do this. My formal training has been two evening courses in black and white printing at The Rhode Island School of Design that I took in 1990 and 2000. In the summer of 2010, I took the Intuitive Portraits Workshop at the Maine Media Workshops with Andrea Modica. I took The Intimate Portrait workshop with Joyce Tenneson at Maine Media in July 2018.
My series on the reconstruction of the wooden sloop Bandwagon at the Museum of Yachting was exhibited at the Museum in the summer of 1994. I have exhibited at various shows of the Photography Guild, the Wickford Art Association, the South County Art Association, and the Portsmouth Arts Guild. I am a member of the DeBlois Gallery in Middletown.
My photographs have been selected to be exhibited at the 1999, 2001, 2003, 2008, 2011 and 2014 Newport Art Museum’s Member show and the Newport Art Museum’s 2020 Annual Show. The image “Transform Man” received an Honorable Mention in Photography at the 2014 Newport Art Museum Members Show. Images of the Classic Yacht Regatta were exhibited at the Museum of Yachting in the summer of 2004. In 2007, 2011 and 2015 I exhibited images at the Member’s Invitational Exhibit of the South County Art Association.

But mostly I exhibit my work in the private gallery in my home in Portsmouth.
It brings me great joy!
