I’ve been creating images for as long as I can remember.   My early influences while growing up in Boston come from cultural photographers like Glen E. Freidman and Eugene Smith.  Taking from them the basic rule that you can capture or create moments through the seamless understanding the mechanics of your craft and the discovery of the self.

I immersed myself in the darkrooms and studios late into the evenings.  Throughout my formal education at RIT, I absorbed most of my knowledge and creative drive from working in the equipment room and camera repair departments rather than the classrooms.
