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.
