About
This website is dedicated to the first 20 years of my freelance photography career in Philadelphia during the 1980’s and 90’s.
I had the opportunity to photograph many different people from all walks of life. I worked with 35mm manual camera equipment and Tri-X film (the old days!).
By far, my most favorite subject through the years has been my family. My father celebrated our family through photography. His love for us was well documented in both 16 and 8mm film and in print. We'd all gather in the family living room to view his films of us with much anticipation, excitement and joy! This left an amazing impression on me about the power imagery has to capture sentimental moments.
My goal is to produce a picture book from my early years as a professional photographer and share some of my stories while being on assignment.
