As a photographer I make art, shoot editorial work, do advertising jobs, shoot portraits of families, couples, people and their pets, head shots, and some events and occasionally weddings. I shoot in a documentary style using available light.

I have been taking photographs since I was a small child. My father was a very good amateur photographer and got me started at a young age. I got my first "real" camera at the age of 13. I attended Bard college and there I studied with photographer Larry Fink. I later transfered to and received my bachelor of arts, with a major in photography, from Columbia College in Chicago.

The world is a peculiar place and it is this strangeness I am attracted to and choose to document. I am inspired by the way people manipulate their surroundings, I see this in the display case of a butcher shop, the sparse geometry of a construction site or a scrap of astroturf left behind in a warehouse. These are things that often originate without a second thought. In capturing them they receive the benefit of increased inspection and the beauty or strangeness is amplified. This is where I find my inspiration.
