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. My work has been published in On Landscape (UK), The Luminous Landscape (CA), and Natuurfotografie (NL).

Recently I’ve started making images that express my moods and emotional responses to the landscape. As my mode of expression becomes freer, the images become more abstract and start speaking to me at a deeper level.

I’ve always loved to write and, besides articles on photography, I have also written and published an autobiography and 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.
