As a lifelong photography enthusiast, I’m excited to share my creative journey that began in high school and has evolved through the years. My current passion lies in capturing the beauty and spirit of the American landscape and architecture.
After years of shooting with Nikon film and DSLR cameras, I’ve recently moved to mirrorless Hasselblads. In addition to my primary camera, I also use a modified model for infrared photography. After acquiring a 1960 vintage Hasselblad medium format camera, I’ve re-discovered my passion for film photography.
My love for photography began at the age of five when my father handed me his Kodak Brownie during a family vacation. Although my first attempt resulted in only three salvageable frames, it sparked a lifelong fascination with cameras and photography.
In junior high, a friend and I devoted countless evenings developing and printing black & white photos. Later I got my own Olympus OM-10 camera and set up my own darkroom in my parents’ basement.
In college, I was the photographer for the school newspaper and the photo editor for the yearbook. These roles gave me the opportunity to photograph notable speakers like Gene Roddenberry and Marlo Thomas.
For many years, I’ve participated in camera clubs where I had the privilege of experiencing the work of very serious and talented photographers, willing to share their secrets.
I’ve been a member of the Merrimac Valley Camera club. After moving to Texas, I became a Fellow of the Dallas Camera Club. I am currently a member of the Greater Lynn Camera Club.
A software engineer by profession, I have and continue to write photography applications. Among them is a program for scoring multi-judge photography competitions that has been adopted by the New England Camera Club and a number of camera clubs across the globe.
I created a tool to synchronize GPS track data with photo metadata, specifically tailored for Civil Air Patrol Search and Rescue missions. This capability proved invaluable in pinpointing damage locations following a tornado in New Hampshire.
