I am recently retired from working in the wholesale picture frame supply business and live in Stillwater, Minnesota, USA. I have also always been a photographer in my spare time making and selling landscape images. Recently, I have also started doing street and documentary photography. Now that I have a lot more free time I hope to do some of my best photographic work yet. I have always loved the elegance, beauty and simplicity of the black and white image. I am truly inspired by the photographers who came before me, my contemporaries and the young photographers making their mark today.
