photography is one of my passions.
at the risk of sounding trite,
i truly believe that a photo is worth a thousand words....

my favorite photographers:
robert mapplethorpe, who needs no introduction;
clarence john laughlin , a mid-20th century art photographer from new orleans;
and mary ellen mark , an american documentarian/photojournalist.

*****

my personal style veers toward the documentary/photojournalistic style...
i have photographed live music in austin texas since 1990,

now here i am in san francisco, pressing on....

recent work of which i'm proud....

guided by voices in boston, january 2000

the rest of my online portfolio is being assembled,
(no thanks for anything else, but thanks for some digitization, r!)
which will be up eventually!
