A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

The streets of London were a wonderful training ground for a young photographer and for me 'Fleet Street' was the center of the universe. The major newspapers of the day were centralized on this street or within easy walking distance, running, if you had a scoop. Early risers could witness the delivery of huge rolls of paper. Only two or three able to fit on a flatbed truck. I remember the sunrise hustle, the smells, the early morning coffee shop and maybe a sausage roll or bacon sandwich to start the day. Shafts of morning light would penetrate from each side-street until it finally rounded the corners as the day progressed. Camera in hand and pockets filled with film, I would head out on the days adventures. Those days. Slow and frustrating, crazy and fast, and on at least one occasion, that excited telephone call to a newspaper picture editor, "Hold the front page".

During my time in England I was fortunate enough to be published in nearly every major London newspaper and since then have regularly appeared in prestigious U.S. and International magazines. I have been based in the United States since 1994, working out of Las Vegas, Nevada and would like to be recognized for my Social Documentary style of photography. In 2010 I was honored to be chosen as one of only 60 photographers throughout the World contributing images to the monthly 'Latitude' magazine, published by the 'The Collective Publishing House'. My work has many salon and exhibition acceptances.
