Photography is my passion. The pursuit of wow. This is the way I try to live my life; all day; every day; Everywhere I turn and see I truly am astonished. I work every day, not just when I am photographing a wedding; everyday I use my camera in the same manner a painter uses a brush every day, a sculptor a chisel, a pianist a piano. I am always creating images. I see myself as an artist. Whether I am photographing a wedding, a cat or dog, a nude, nature, a baby, a pregnant woman, a party or a portrait……I consider all my photography art; and all my photography is personal work. Life is my subject matter.
Although baseball was my childhood passion, I always considered myself an artist. After getting a degree in Art History and in English, I worked as a corporate photographer and writer at Hearst Magazines (Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, House Beautiful, Town & Country). I then sold printing while taking photographs and exhibiting the photos in small galleries in New York City, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Recently I opened an art gallery in Western Massachusetts, named Studio 19 which is dedicated to showcasing the talents of young photographers from the around the world whose work demonstrates original ways of seeing. It is called Studio 19 as it is inspired by the ground-breaking gallery opened in 1908 by Alfred Stieglitz at 291 Fifth Avenue, NYC.
Most recently I have been photographing weddings and I was the official photographer for the National Miss Junior Teen America Pageant. I also continue to photograph portraits and nature. My book, Famous People Famous Places, photographs of Times Square in the early 1980s, will be published in 2007. |
