Thank you for visiting my site. Photography and imagery has been of great interest to me since childhood. My father, already a working photographer, gave me his first 35 millimeter fully manual camera when I was five. Its power and infinite possibilities registered with me immediately.

The medium and art of photography became increasingly alluring, as did documentary filmmaking, in the early '90's while attending the City College of New York as a film major. It was by then very clear that focusing on a journalistic and storytelling path was for me, and it's at the core of my photography and its outlook. 

A wide variety of genres and subject matter interests me. I'm also of the view that consistent versatility and range within any creative expression is a vital asset. On that note, I hope that there's something for everyone amid this site's myriad and varied content. 

While based in New York City, I've had the good fortune to travel abroad a good deal, and many images from these thought provoking and illuminating journeys are here. The opportunities and challenges from taking part in foreign cultures and their environments is always inspiring, especially capturing its most fleeting moments. 

Complete rescuing of problematic images is another serious endeavor of mine. I'm especially interested in how resourcefulness and patience is so fully realized within this often painstaking and arduous process. The resulting Photoshop Before & After galleries contain an array of instances of how I've dealt with my own photos that initially had uncontrollable and unpredictable issues, often severe. 

Graphic design/magazine layout based work is another keen interest, and quite a few samples of this are in its respective gallery.
