bio

I grew up in a tiny factory town in Pennsylvania, where everyone knew everyone and there was none of the anonymity I would later discover in cities. I continue to explore those contrasting experiences in a variety of ways in my photographs.

I'm a self-taught photographer. At various times I've been a criminal appeals attorney, a prize-winning though unproduced screenwriter, a freelance magazine writer, and a janitor. My short stories have appeared in the literary journals North Atlantic Review and Phantasmagoria. I currently teach photography at NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies and take photographs for a variety of reasons and clients.

In the Fall of 2005, I was one of the ten winners of the Hey, Hot Shot! competition at jen bekman.
