I first fell in love with photography in high school, developing black and white film in the darkroom and having one of my photos featured in the school’s literary magazine. I was completely hooked — but it would take over twenty-five years of working in the business world before I could pursue it full time.
I have been told by many people that I always find the beauty in the ordinary encounters of life, and my photography is where I get to really express that. I have built a body of work around the natural beauty of the Finger Lakes region — its waterfalls, landscapes, and iconic scenes that make this place so special. But I am equally taken by things that go unnoticed — moments that would not necessarily be considered beautiful until captured by this medium. Some of my favorite scenes come from simply going about daily life. I’ll see something unexpected, and I am reminded that every moment is alive and filled with mystery.
I hope my images evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for being right where you are. The future is a great thing — but if we are only looking ahead, we miss the beauty that stands right before us.
Prints are available for purchase online at my website, at Handwork Artisan Cooperative, and at juried art shows throughout the Finger Lakes Region. I use a professional grade inkjet printer and a variety of Moab fine art archival papers so my images will not discolor or fade with age.
