About Me
I began taking photographs 40 years ago in Portland, Maine. I was initially drawn to photography by its capacity to capture the beauty of an instant and hold it before us, reminding us that there is beauty all around us all the time. And second, by the limitless creative possibilities photography offers. My first efforts were crafted in a shared darkroom in the basement of my friend and fellow budding photographer Anne.
My day job prevented me from committing the time to photography I would have liked but afforded the opportunities for extensive travel. This enabled me to grow as a photographer by feeding my desire to see and understand the remarkable beauty of the world around us. I have been able shoot in extraordinary places and photograph remarkable people. On my website I offer a selection of photos of the people I have met and the places I have been. One collection I particularly enjoy is of Tattoo art. I have been fascinated by the development of this art over the last several decades and offer some examples, attempting to capture some of the amazing artistry and whimsy of tattooing as well as some of the fascinating people I have met in the process. It has been my great fortune to work, first clandestinely during the dark days of military dictatorship and then openly, with teachers from Burma (Myanmar). I have been able to work with teachers at the 6000-student monastery school in Mandalay and with other brave and remarkable Myanmar teachers from across Myanmar and Thailand. Though I continue to travel, I now mostly roam between Colorado and Maine maintaining studios in both locations. I have also had the opportunity to work with some remarkable models and find that when there is a strong artistic connection between model and photographer the photoshoot becomes a fulcrum for creative inspiration.
