I am a realist. An observer of everyday life. After all, it is everyday life that is the most interesting. A famous photographer once said, "pictures don't mean-they show."
He was right. Don't look for deep mysterious meanings hidden here. No special effects. No glamour or glitz. Just reality. The reality that surrounds us.
The theatre of life as I saw it-at that moment-with my eyes-with my lens. Moments irretrievably gone, yet captured forever.

As a former designer and art director, working for clients such as Zurich International Insurance, Motorola, Enesco, TY Warner Industries, Revlon, Ulta3, and Hugo Boss-to name a few, I worked for many years around photographers and with photography. 5 years ago, I realized that although I had worked around photography for so many years, and had a deep appreciation for the "art" of photography, I had never seriously pursued photography on a personal level. I decided the time had come to take my own photographs-to show my own personal vision.

So here it is, what I saw with my eyes-my vision. I hope you see it too.
