Growing up in the Catskill Mountains, being outside in nature's beauty was just a way of life. Serving honorably in the United States Marine Corps provided the sense of situational awareness and action. Traveling abroad, it seemed I always had a camera at the ready.  Randy Cohen a Fashion Photographer, taught me about subject matter, composition, and lighting.  Expanding into astronomy, night imaging came easy.  The thought of capturing live history is intriguing. Combining my romance with the camera with other people's interests -- such as action, sports, or modeling -- gives me a rush of ongoing satisfaction, and capturing the right image and then being able to offer that moment to the happy "actor",  pushes me to the next project and horizon.
