Bio
Introduced to photography and the B&W darkroom as a young teenager. Graduated New York University's College of
Engineering (BME), entered Fort Monmouth's US Army Signal Corps officers program, and assigned overseas to the
17th Signal Battalion in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Leading the Battalion thru East Germany into Berlin when the "wall" was created in 1961, and providing communications throughout Germany and France for US Army Europe and NATO from 1959-62, I frequently traveled Europe at leisure.
Returning home, my world of engineering design, sales and corporate management was primarily devoted to high-tech
hospital medical equipment, inhalation anesthesia systems, diagnostic imaging technologies, and design-build Medical
Imaging Center facilities… retiring from Siemens Medical Systems in 1993.
Exploring the art of color photography, I studied with Robin Perry in Connecticut and John Doscher in Vermont, and with
the advent of digital imaging technology many years later, further examined the aesthetic of natural light with the creative
mastery of Vincent Versace in New York.
Thereafter, it was simply a matter of time that the traditional darkroom would become a memory of the past... replaced
with state-of-the-art computers, digital photo editing software, and refined printing technology.
Searching beyond for the image within...
The search for the unusual is an adventure of discovery... exploring remote lands, foreign cultures, and magnificent
destinations as I expand upon a vision that continues to evolve. Searching beyond for the image within and pushing
the creative boundaries of photography has revealed graphic, imaginative and unexpected visual perspectives.
With a preference for exploring photography and the diversity of expression as a contemporary art form, searching
beyond is not only the recording of what is, but potentially what it can be.
Ultimately however, it's the art of seeing and the challenge of expression that inspires the art of the image. Somewhere
between realism and abstraction, it's suggested there's more to the world around us than we might initially observe...
and to look and imagine and not just see.

Travel companions on the journey of life...
Paula has been my travel partner since 1957. With her extensive knowledge and expertise as a professional
independent travel consultant for many years, we have traveled together to more than one hundred countries.
As we continue our worldwide adventure seeking new destinations and its photography, and revisiting others, the preference for places and things that are different most clearly defines our shared travel interest... beyond the ordinary, and hopefully exceeding expectations.
On a personal note... I am indeed most fortunate and extremely proud having the support of an awe-inspiring, smart and very capable energetic wife, and knowing that I'm sharing my life with the greatest friend a person could ever have. Thanks to Paula's inspiration and guidance, it's been an incredible journey... one that I simply could not have accomplished without her.
