About me

Gender Male
Introduction Hometown, Vauxhall, N.J., which is about 15 miles west of Times Square. I dislike cheese except on pizza. First photo published was the cover shot for National Speedsport News of Mark Donahue winning the Trans Am race at Brigehampton Speedway in Long Island. Sold first print in 1976. Vowed I’d never do weddings. Big time Broncos fan. I’ve been to two Super Bowls. Saw them lose one and win one. I’ve run the NYC Marathon six times. I’ve done Ride the Rockies twice, Pedal the Peaks once. Go to church regularly and consider myself a Christian. I respect everyone’s religious beliefs. Never judge what someone thinks is a good picture. I never refuse a photo request, ie table shots or dad pulling his pants pockets inside out. It’s their pictures. Favorite city besides Denver is Paris, France. I’m pretty much self taught but have been to a ton of seminars, workshops, and college level photography classes over the years. Photographers that have influenced me: Roy DeCarava; W. Eugene Smith; Ralph Gibson; Gary Winogrand; Pete Turner; Helmut Newton; Harry Callahan; Eugene Richards; Elliott Erwitt
Interests Music, Bicycling, NFL
Favorite Movies Pulp Fiction, then probably Shawshank Redemption and the Blues Brothers.
Favorite Music Went to the first Woodstock. Didn’t stay to see Hendrix Favorite musician is John Coltrane. Favorite rock group is Yes. I used to have over 5, 000 record albums, now down to about 1, 500, many replaced with cd’s. First concert, The Temptations in 1965. Lived in the Apollo Theater. Saw everybody there: The Miracles, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder, and on and on
