About me

Location	Winston-Salem, NC
Introduction	I began my career as a journalist. Reporting taught me about listening, observation, distillation, clarity. Then I began making up stories. I exchanged the literal for the literary and truth took a backseat. I earned an MFA in fiction. The same evolution has occurred in photography. I began as a documentarian, a truth finder, and then, after about five years, I started creating photographs based on stories, poems, moods and metaphors. The wordless language of art has opened up a new way of telling stories. I never could master Italian, but learning to speak in photographs has expanded my ability to communicate.
