About

Everything that happens around us is really all one, just viewed from different perspectives. My art is a reflection of what I believe reality to be, that all interactions and events in life have synchronicity and are connected. Composition and the way we see things has a lot to do with the synchronicity of the moment. Working with many designers over the years, I learned that flow, movement and composition of all entities captured in that moment, play an integral part in conveying the synchronicity. My visual capturing career began with enrolling in photography school in NYC. Upon graduation, I ventured west to San Francisco in 1972 and and for the next 25 years, I was a corporate photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area focusing on large corporate clientele - Bank of America, Pacific Gas and Electric, Royal Cruise Line, Chevron, Pacific Bell, International Paper Co. and the US Army. I also spent 8 years doing location photography for the US Veterans Administration in San Francisco. Made a change from the corporate world to education and science in 1996 where I worked for the US Department of Energy as the staff photographer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for the next 20 years, traveling the globe to document science projects such as construction of neutrino detectors in Canada and China, carbon sequestration research in the wheat fields of Oklahoma, soil and water genomic research in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, climate change research in the various microclimates of California, scientists studying the breakdown of the permafrost in the Alaskan arctic, and deployment of deep water satellite robotics from oceanographic research vessels in the Pacific Ocean to study microbiotic, iron content and climate change temperature in regard to the warming of the oceans.

Retired from LBNL in 2016, now semi-retired residing on the Gulf Coast of Florida shooting street and travel
