About Me
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
― Elliott Erwitt
I grew up on Long Island taking lots of pictures (my father was photographer in his youth, returned from WWII, and founded
Tiffen Optical with his brothers) but never considered photography a serious expression of my artwork. I had a classical art school education, was a potter, successfully designed my own line of wallpaper, and learned to love the computer and computer graphics. Someone stole my camera on a trip. I came home and bought my first digital camera. My world as an artist changed; it all comes together through my computer and the lens of my camera.
That was the start of the fine art photography I do now. I see photographs everywhere. I discovered Dahlias, and flowers became my passion - the subtle textures, the colors, the endless beauty and variations, old houses, beaches, nature, children, and dogs and their people.
ARTISTS’ STATEMENT
I’m told that my photographs have a quiet, elegant stillness to them. In this instant gratification world, I love capturing a moment, a scene that you might just miss as you hurry past. My photographs are usually local sites, flowers, people I love, that I try to capture in a way that transcends the ordinary. Photography has become my passion, and I hope you see that in my images.
