I take photographs to see the world more clearly. In real life, I could never see a sea lion’s whiskers, the details of a fox's fur, or the nose of a bear. Ironically for a photographer, I have low vision and can barely see the animals I photograph without the aid of my long camera lens. I feel a thrill every time I load new images onto my big computer screen and see up close the miracle that is nature.

I am a photographer based in Weston, MA. Photography is my second career after working for decades in the software industry as a software designer and research project lead. In my first career, I received 7 US patents, and started my own small software company. I began photography in the digital age, loving the immediate gratification of digital images. 

In addition to creating art photography, I work with clients to document community events, create images for their online presence, or capture candid family, pet, and sports photos. I teach basic photography skills including iPhone photography, creative photography, and wildlife photography. I also work with private clients, teaching photo editing in Photoshop and Lightroom.
