The years between 1990 and 2005 were those years in which I devoted much of my time to traditional film photography.
I became enamored with black and white photography and also traveled the world much during that time.
I spent all my available time shooting on the street and on shows when I had the chance.
I found photography very similar to music in many ways.
Especially recording which, whether it is music or photography, is the act of capturing a special moment.
A moment of intensity or beauty of some sort than you feel a need to capture and share.
I have found that, at times when I have been able to disconnect myself from my surroundings, I can view the world in a unique and personal way which feels so similar to the musical experience that it moves me in a very deep way.
I hope you enjoy my images as I continue to post them here over time.
Soon I will have travel and other photographs available for sale also here.
I have literally several thousand negatives to choose from in color and black and white and I hope to present a good amount of my best work here soon for your enjoyment and/or purchase.
Thank you!
