Tell us about your journey as an image-maker and how you got to where you are today.

My photographic journey really started in college in the 1970’s followed by a 30 year hiatus for life and career. About 10 years ago, I decided I needed something creative to balance my work world of contracts and corporate transactions, so I picked up a camera again, learned digital, discovered Leica and a love of street photography…… and the rest is history.

What stories or issues are you most passionate about covering?

I think I’m most passionate about street photography. I like to try to capture people in their natural environment and tell their story in a single image.

I am a huge classic rock & roll fan…and I decided to learn to play the guitar this year. Anyone going to Desert Trip in October?
