I have been making photographs since I was a teen. Initially interested in nature and travel photography, I moved away from the street photography aspects of travel and concentrated on architecture and landscapes. In my teens I also learned to scuba dive. Next, I delved into underwater photography. I decided to make photography my career. I was educated at Brooks Institute of Photographic Art and Science, and earned a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Color Technology with a minor in Industrial - Scientific Imaging. I have operated my own commercial studio since 1986, in California and then in New York and New England. Underwater photography is one of my specialties. I have had the fortune of travelling the world making photographs above and below the surface. The underwater photography project entitled The Guns and Armour of Scapa Flow was begun in 1998. It is a visual catalogue of what remains of the naval warfare technology on the German Imperial High Seas Fleet scuttled in Scapa Flow. The images were captured using homemade large format film cameras. I combined specialist exposure and lighting techniques to create a unique visual sense. I optimized an analog and digital workflow to make fine art prints of these underwater images.
