Artist Statement
My desire for stillness and solitude is reflected in the images I photograph. There are no people, often just the traces of what humans have built or left behind.
I seek ordinary places that are infused with mystery or beauty due to the ever-changing light, color and atmosphere. My ideal venues are empty streets, backroads, abandoned buildings or deserted rooms.
I consider my image successful if it evokes a deep feeling or contemplation in the viewer.
Biography
I have been photographing for over 40 years. While I always shoot when traveling to interesting parts of the world like India, Cuba, the Galapagos or South Africa, I always come back to New York, my home, and the surrounding areas in New Jersey, Columbia County or Long Island, for my deepest inspiration.
