I've been involved with photography ever since I can remember. As a child I often "borrowed" my mother's classic Kodak Brownie camera. I was later given a Polaroid camera as a present, however it wasn't until 1976 that I got my first 35mm film camera and became thoroughly hooked with photography. I took numerous classes via The New School in which I learned how to develop black and white film and prints. I then moved up to get my Nikkormat EL-W 35mm film camera in 1977, which believe it or not, still have and use to this day.

My love for nature, animals and especially cats is reflected in my photographic work.
