    About my approach to photography:

    Life is a show, full of surprises, if only we take time to notice.  I love finding unexpected beauty in the most mundane settings of everyday life.

    Most of the time, we operate on auto-pilot, so busy that we don’t really see.  My photography is a way for me to stop and focus, to pay attention, to notice everything. Seeing everything with a photographer’s eye reminds me to be “in the moment.”
    The natural world is my favorite studio.  I grew up playing in the woods of New England, and I’m still doing it.
    About me:

     

    Photography has been a passion since I can remember.  I began as a black and white film photographer while I was still a teenager.

     

    I studied photography first in high school.  That’s when I set up my first business, doing candid black & white children’s portraits.  I developed and printed my work in a tiny darkroom in a basement bathroom.

     

    I studied photography further at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY, and later at ICP (International Center of Photography) in New York, NY.  Professionally, I pursued my other passion, writing.  I was a copywriter (N W Ayer, Inc.), marketing writer (AISG); I wrote poetry and fiction, but throughout it all, I was always a photographer as well.

     

    In 2001, I made the switch to digital photography.  I enjoyed the control it allowed me over my work, and I found the various post-processing options intriguing.  Now photography has once again taken center stage in my life.  I’m pleased to be able to share my work with a greater audience.
