I am a self-taught photographer. My work ranges from emotive portraits, to music, and pictures on the road. Photography gradually emerged over time while in the midst of a 40-year career as a professional musician. This transition from creating sound to creating visuals is a natural blending of disciplines - aspects of each discipline has always been present, only the focus, and therefore the result, has shifted.

I am originally from Bakersfield, California, a place still infused with the sounds of country western, blues, rock and roll and mariachi music. I currently reside in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I want to thank all my collaborators, willing and unwilling, who appear in my photos.

My images have appeared most recently in print in SHOTS magazine, online exhibitions at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont, and Chateau Gallery, Louisville, Kentucky, as well as Lenscratch.com, a photography journal.
