I grew up in the 50’s on the north-eastern coast of the United States. I was given my first camera when I was 18, following in my mother’s and grandfather’s footsteps. But life got in the way, as it sometimes does, so it wasn’t until after my retirement in The Netherlands that I started taking my photography seriously.

When I published my autobiography in 2015, I had no idea that, not even a year later, my life would be totally inundated by the desire to be a photographer… an expressive photographer. My love of photography had always been there. But suddenly the barriers broke, and the creative life I’d always denied myself came surging in. Recently I’ve started making more and more images that express my moods and emotional responses to the landscape. Photographing what lies beyond the simple truth of what I see.

My work has been published in international magazines for nature and landscape photography and shown in museums and galleries both in Europe and the US.

I’ve always loved to write and, besides my autobiography, I keep a blog (somewhat erratically) on various topics which you can find here under Essays, 

As a photographer I’m committed to treat nature with respect. I’m therefore an ambassador for Nature First, an alliance for responsible nature photography.
