BIOGRAPHY
I was born in London, UK. My professional background spans scientific research, communication arts, learning technologies, and education. After completing my postgraduate education, I briefly pursued B&W photography before crossing the "The Pond" to New York City. Throughout the 80's I worked in the city as a TV and video producer/writer for PBS-Channel 13, and independently. Changing circumstances and opportunities propelled me to move again, this time to the Midwest. During the 90's I held administrative, creative, and educational positions at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
More recently, advances in digital imaging prompted me to re-engage with my earlier passion for the photographic arts. My present interests include street photography, narrative photography, cityscapes, landscapes, and abstraction. While I am almost completely self-taught, I continue to learn and draw inspiration from masters such as Brassai, Bresson, Davidson, Salgago, Sellerio, Stochl, Walker, Weston, and Winograd, to name but a few.
Last summer I returned to the E. Coast, to Brooklyn, NY, where I now living and dedicating as much time as I can to photography.
