About

A friend suggested that I was passionate about the heavens: birds, storms, and stars. I got to photograph beautiful things and had access to the details in the wonder of life.

I am not an accomplished photographer. Nor am I falsely modest. Portraiture is beyond me. My landscapes struggle for mediocrity. But. When my vision moves skyward, what I see is the beauty there and merely press the shutter to record it.

Photography led me to places I had never been and would likely never go. And to see things I would have never seen.

Thank you for stopping by.

a bit of a biography

Stockbroker. Now this was fun. I did well and lived well. Penthouse on Nob Hill. Sailed in boats on San Francisco Bay. That kind of thing. And then came the midlife crisis. No details provided.

Graphic designer. Owned a small business. Some big time clients. Charged outrageous fees. 

Retired. That was no fun. No fun at all.

Photographer. Now this was fun.
