ABOUT
| I've been guilty of making photographs with intent to distribute for a long time. Before receiving a formal education in the craft from the Rochester Institute of Technology I was on staff at the University of South Carolina, paid to make photographs while studying to become an editorial journalist. I realized that I was spending more time taking pictures, developing film, making prints than I was learning how to write obituaries. It struck me that the first two years of a Journalism program were designed to break a writer's spirit and I realized that I enjoyed peering through a viewfinder far more than playing chicken with a blank sheet of paper. I broke my pencil in two and didn't look back. Since then I've produced photography for commerce, Marketing, Packaging and Advertising, in upstate New York, Chicago and for the last 20 years San Francisco. Some of my clients include Apple Computer, Intel, Xerox, Kodak and a long list of wineries. I've photographed the operations, personnel and executive management of companies in Biotech, IT, film and television industries and I donate my services to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. My life is happily complicated by a woman who understands me and a cat who does not. |
