About Me...

  • I'm a freelance writer and, along with several notebooks, a thousand pens, a laptop, and some other writing gear, I always have a camera with me when I head out on the road for stories (or when I'm just wandering around). Some of my favorite photos are to the right. For more of my shots, click any of the photo albums in the far right column. And please visit often--I'll be posting new photos all the time. Questions or comments? Drop me a note.

flipper had nothing on them

Dolphin3The boat ride in Gulf Shores, Alabama was sort of cheesy -- a little Jimmy Buffet goes a long way -- but all wonderful. Dolphins would slip into the boat's wake, slip through the water, and then leap away.

finally...

Daytime_bbBorn in Brooklyn, raised 20 minutes outside the city, lived on the Upper East Side for 11 years and, now, Queens for three...and had never walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. Finally remedied that last Friday, a beautiful night to fill a hole in my life experiences.

I often feel this way in the morning

Oh_babyI've never seen an animal look quite so grumpy. I'm a bit behind on posting photo albums at the moment but hope to have the South Africa photos up very soon.

In Kenai

65It was a perfect sunny day in Kenai, Alaska--and the red of this boat, in front of the visitor's center, totally grabbed me.

looking back

Private_momentEven with 30 (or so) other photographers around me, it was possible to feel like I was in the middle of nowhere and on my own while watching (though a very long lens) a herd of elk graze in the distance.

Cameinsecond4x6I'm flying home tomorrow from a photo workshop I took in Yellowstone Nat'l Park. My brain is spinning. I learned a bunch but oh so much more to learn (which is, of course, the good part). But the really good part is that (along with getting a good foundation in Photoshop--that's where the head spinning came in), I'm taking home some images that I really love. And then there's my other newfound love: Yellowstone. Oh. My.

sweet reward

Aug_13A string of hot as hell days ended with a beautiful weekend. And that beautiful weekend ended with a glowing and painted sky...

not just a pretty face

Ready_for_my_closeup I think this may be the best portrait I've ever shot. And this one can't be chalked up to a great hair stylist or anything like that.
