Born and raised in New York City, my journey with photography began as a kid in the 1970s when my father handed me a point-and-shoot camera and encouraged me to explore the world in black and white. That early experience laid the foundation for my interest in photography, a passion that has grown and evolved over the years. Now residing in New Jersey, my exploration of life through the lens continues. I'm attracted to the understated yet profound beauty in everyday scenes and faces, and strive to capture their essence. I aim to reveal the character and mood of my subjects, whether it's the stillness of a foggy morning or the quiet emotion in a gesture or expression.
