About
Photography has been a constant companion through much of my adult life.
After graduating from the University of Vermont with a degree in Psychology, I spent several years living and working in ski towns before moving to London in 1998. What was intended to be a one-year adventure became an eight-year chapter. During that time I built a career as a software developer, but it was travel that truly captured my imagination.
My interest in photography grew naturally from those travels. What began as a way to document places soon became a way of seeing them. The camera encouraged me to slow down, pay attention, and notice details that might otherwise have passed unnoticed. Over time, photography transformed ordinary journeys into a search for light, color, atmosphere, and moments of human connection.
Today I live in New Jersey with my family and continue to travel whenever I can. Photography is no longer something I pursue with the same intensity as I did in my twenties and thirties, but it remains an important part of how I experience the world. Whether I'm exploring a distant country, wandering a city street, skiing in the mountains, or simply walking close to home, I still find myself looking for those fleeting moments when light, subject, and timing come together.
I've always been drawn to photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Steve McCurry, and Charlie Waite — artists who combine patience, observation, and storytelling. Their work reinforced a lesson I've come to appreciate more with age: great photographs are rarely about perfect technique. They're about seeing.
Photography has taught me to find beauty in unlikely places. It has made me more observant, more patient, and more present. The images in these galleries span more than two decades of travel and exploration. They were never created for clients or commercial purposes, but simply for the enjoyment of the craft and the memories each photograph preserves.
I hope you enjoy them.
Equipment & film
Cameras: Nikon D7100, D90, D80, and F80. Lenses: several Nikon lenses and a Tokina wide-angle. Film: mostly Fuji Provia 100F, Velvia 100, and Kodak E100VS.
From slide to screen
The 35mm slides were scanned on a Nikon Coolscan V (older scans on a Minolta 5400), with film profiled using IT8 targets and the monitor profiled with a GretagMacbeth i1 — then finished in Photoshop to match the original transparency as closely as I could.
