Have camera, will travel

I have loved cameras and photography since my teens.   A gift book of great photographers from my sister Barrie opened a window which has never closed.   Many hours have been spent looking at photographs by the masters.   I shoot my experience, what I see.  I like “dancing with light”, revealing form and texture, telling a story,  capturing strategic moments.  For events I’ve developed a photojournalistic style of anticipation and rapid capture.  

I have a cadre of Nikon camera bodies and lenses, lights and accoutrements to handle most any situation. 

I am active in the Susquehanna Valley Shutterbugs, and have shown photographs in group and individual shows around Williamsport at venues such as the Tabor Museum, Williamsport Frame Shop, the Pajama Factory, Woodlands Bank, Community Theater and Eagle Rock Winery.

I grew up in Williamsport, lived briefly in New York, adventured in the west and northwest, have degrees from Penn State (Speech Communication) and W.A.C.C. (Computer Science), and am retired from a computer career and involvement in the family business.   I’ve  lived on Bastress Mountain for the last 20+ years.
