After 34 years in L.A. as an advertising and editorial illustration photographer, and Professor of Media Arts & Photography, I retired in 2001, sold my studio and most of the equipment, and decompressed in a little cabin in the majestic northern California redwoods. A year later, I moved to Newbury, NH and a wonderful little post and beam house, filled with light from industrial-size windows, and bordered by hundreds of acres of wildlife sanctuary forest.

I thought I had retired from photography, but every window framed a beautiful scene that I just had to capture. I unpacked one of my old studio cameras, and the joy of photography flooded back into me.

One thing led to another, and painter/gallery owner, Ron Brown, invited me to create the photography floor at The Banks Gallery New London. It was a wonderful seven-year run.

Some of my images are on permanent display at New London Hospital, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital, Lebanon, NH and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, and in many dozens of homes and businesses in the US and abroad.
