SPECIALIZING IN SURREALISM & NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY
Based in Richmond, Virginia

​As a day job, I'm a Clinical Neuropsychologist who specializes in brain and behavior. The connection between my job and photographic work can be summarized by the statement: "Photography is a means of extending what our brain sees into what it processes emotionally, and then sharing that evocative moment with the viewer.” I was fine art minor in college and have been a photographer for more than 40 years: starting with film and moving to digital. I like to describe myself as an omnivorous photographer: one who take advantage of every photographic opportunity from large scale landscapes to macro-images. My wife is used to finding that I am 100 steps behind her, focusing on an image “that I just have to take." The union of camera and software has helped me to move past the limits of objective reality. My sense of creative enjoyment with photography comes from asking my brain to work as one (more or less) with the camera to create a physical image which then can be manipulated via the software to bring forth the abstract creative thought that first resided in my brain. Whether I am taking landscape, botanical, sunset, night sky, or family photos, I try to bring my individual sense of creativity to the composition, lighting and post-production process. I have an active schedule of teaching photography workshops. My work has been part of juried shows and contests, including the Smithsonian Magazine Photography Contest, JCC Undiscovered Photographer Show, and are hung in several commercial establishments and private collections. A portion of the profits from each sale goes to charity.
