that is unusual in either form, color or perspective.
He
has led workshops in outdoor photography in the Southwest, Northwest and Fall
colors of the Northeastern United States.
Examples of his work can be found in numerous private collections, the Burbank municipal building, corporate offices and galleries on the West Coast. Interpretive images of his can be found at the Very Large Array site in New Mexico, the subject of the movie "Contact" with Jody Foster.
Under the tutelage of Guy D'Alema, Gene Trindl, Noella Ballenger, and George Lepp new fields of creativity are constantly being explored.
The influences of Monet, Cézanne, W. Eugene Smith, Judy Dater, Freeman Patterson and Ernst Hass have helped to bridge the gap between reality and abstract interpretation.
Only when one is drawn to an image and is permitted to establish a dialogue with it, has the image-maker touched another’s soul.
