Meet the artist
(Photographic autobiography below)
I was first interested in photography during a family vacation when I was nine. I commandeered the family box camera and made most of the pictures of the trip. My father asked his coworkers to critique my work, and they said I should have my subjects stand closer to the camera.
A more serious interest emerged ten years later when I was in college and happened to get a part-time job doing film processing and printing for a journalistic magazine. A photojournalist who worked there spurred my interest, planting the seeds that led to my later work as newspaper photojournalist and commercial photographer.
After retiring, I began to display some of my older work in galleries, and to create new artistic images. Today my work is displayed at Lemon Street Gallery in Kenosha, WI and at Jockey International and the Common Grounds Coffee House, also in Kenosha. More work has been on display at the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison and at Spectrum School and Gallery in Racine, WI.
Below is a photographic biography, which may be a better account of my artistic development than more words.
