I've been taking pictures for all of
my life, ever since my mentor, Edith Stephenson, introduced me to bird photography way back in 1975. I started out as any kid would, using a Kodak Instamatic, with which I took photos through a pair of binoculars.
My first real camera was a Yashica Rangefinder, which didn’t last long and was quickly replaced by a Pentax SP-1000. Eventually, I upgraded to a Canon F-1N, and finally settling with Nikons for many years, both film and digital. I went through many years with Nikon digital models, my last one being the Z6-II. I moved to a Leica Q2 for a couple of years, but found it quite uninspiring.
I recently added a Hasselblad X2D-II medium format camera to my gear bag, and it has been a game-changer, such a fun camera. And the photos are amazing!
In the beginning, my genres were nature and landscape photography, exploring the diverse world of Maine’s woods and wetlands. In the early 2000’s, I started to work with both musicians and models, and got my first professional gigs working for a studio owner shooting album covers and promo. In the early 2020’s, I expanded my expertise to include weddings.
Today, I photograph subjects of interest to me. My principal genres are nature (flora and fauna), landscape, and architecture. I love working with linear subjects, looking for fresh perspectives on oft-photographed scenes. And I love to shoot in black and white utilizing one of the best analog cameras ever made.
