About my art:
I have been called an ionic street photographer with a very unique style. Since my childhood I have always been interested in the streets and the life happening on them. This passion led to my first project "Coney Island" and then in New Orleans during "Mardi Gras." More of my projects have been in New York, Haiti, France, Ireland, England, and now America. My style is based off of dynamic and black an white photos.

Throughout my life:
I first started off at Penn State University going for a sociology degree. I shortly dropped out of college. Then in 1967 I had an idea to be an actor but that fell short as well. After the struggle of trying to find what I wanted to do with my life and career I bought a camera, I attended a few photography classes at the School of Visual Arts in New York, but then decided to become more of a "self taught" photographer. Throughout my career I have won many awards and grants including the National Endowments for the Arts fellowship.
