Turning moments into art through photography gives me a joy and satisfaction that I have experienced nowhere else. I love getting out into the world before dawn and watching the panorama unfold, or stalking the insect, the bird, and the dewdrop on a flower, or catching someone in uninhibited gesture and expression. As a boy growing up in Miami, I loved to explore the seashores, fascinated by the creatures who lived there and the flotsam and jetsam that arrived from faraway places. This inspired me to begin painting and photographing fishes, seascapes, and "abstracts in nature" before I was in high school.
Since my youth, photography became my journal as I studied biology, medicine, art, parenting, architecture, carpentry, gardening, and creative cooking. Traveling the world during long breaks gave me a broader viewpoint and a taste of the vast variety of cultures, flora, and fauna on Earth. Photographing nature is my greatest love, especially around the waterways, lakes and coasts of Florida, my lifelong home.
I have stuck by Canon through a series of beloved 35mm SLRs starting in college. In 2002, I bought my first digital camera, a Canon A-70. I was surprised to find that I instantly loved it, and have now progressed through several digital SLRs. I currently shoot with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III. Living in the Florida Panhandle, I've retired from medicine and work as a freelance photographer. I also serve as Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Office of Recreation Services' wildlife and landscape photographer.
My photographs and photographic services are available for purchase. Whether you are looking as a prospective client or as a viewer, I hope you enjoy my work and find some of it inspiring.
