More About Me

My first camera arrived one Christmas evening when I was still a teenager. It was an Agfa box camera, and from then on my fascination with photography never quite disappeared. However, I had to put it aside while in college and later on while in the Marine Corps. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to go back to college after I left the Marines. Because of the kindness of the Art Departments counselor, I was able to take photography courses alongside much younger art majors, finding tremendous inspiration in their work ethic and talents. I became so enthused about art and photography that I returned to the university to get my Masters in Fine Arts. I followed that by a short stint of teaching at the university level both in the United States and in Italy.
