About

I am an artistic photographer from Harford County, Maryland, USA. I have been active in photography for over 50 years. My subject matter includes landscapes, nature, wildlife, portraiture, and restoration/colorization of vintage monochrome images.

I enjoy the challenge of creating extraordinary images from ordinary scenes. To create, is to express joy to the world. One should live life at its fullest and to not be afraid. The greatest act of love of life is procreation. Hence, life passes by too quickly and should be preserved with photos.

More recently, I have challenged myself in the field of creative writing by publishing poems that are aimed to provoke both emotional and intellectual responses involving the meaning of life. Thusly, I have proclaimed myself as “The Poet-Provocateur”.
I am also the sole originator of a creative writing technique using “image entangled verse”^©️, deployed here for the first time in May, 2023 with the publication of the poem, “Full Moon Flyer & Friends”.

Although I am not pursuing printed publications per se, my images and poetry can be found in the following:

“The Ground Beneath Us”, by Dr. Paul Bogard. Amazon Order Here
“Maryland Bards Poetry Review”, Editions 2022, 2023, and 2024. Order Here
“Eastern Sea Bards Poetry Anthology”, Now available, Order Here

Thanks for looking and I hope that you will derive pleasure by reviewing my photo galleries and reading my poetry. The lovely woman in the picture is my darling wife Cindy, whose constant love and support throughout my life has sustained my passion for creative image making and poetic writing, and - although wavering many times, my love for humanity.

Re-establish, your Sense of Wonder,

As it was, when you were a Child.

Then, seek out,

Joy and Enlightenment.

Create, to express your Gratitude,

For your Love, of the

Beauty of Life, in the

Natural World and

Spiritual Universe.
