My Work

My photography is what I feel, and my relationship with a scene. The visual stimulus--where I look and when I take the photo-- is always secondary to my viewpoint.

Several great photograhers have influenced  my style.  I attended their workshops or worked with them on assignments. They include Mary Ellen Mark, Eugene Richards, Costa Manos, David Allen Harvey, James Natchway.  Many are represented by the prestigious Magnum Photo Agency.

I also admire and follow the work of Joseph Koudelka, Sebastion Salgado, Robert Frank, and Harold Feinstein  These I consider to be the great documentary photographers of our time.

My gear is simple. One camera and one lens,  a Leica digital body with 35mm lens, using only available light. Much of my work is in Black and White, which I believe is the true poetry of photograpy.
