About Me It's hard to write about myself. If you really want to know me, check out the images on this site. At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I like to think of myself as an artist. And if I am, my work on these pages will tell you more about me, more honestly, than I can here. I've done many things in my life: music, stage design, architecture, software development and photography. To me, they were all the same thing, different medium. Each allowed me the opportunity to express my constant amazement and joy at the chaos, order, beauty and pathos of this world and this life. The degree to which my images move you, enthrall you, surprise you or make you think is the measure of my success. If I can expose the soul of a single person, the beauty of one sunset, the exquisite curve of an old and broken tree, then I've accomplished what I set out to do. If, because of my work, you look at your world a little more closely and appreciate its complexity and beauty more than before, than I'm content. All the rest is unimportant. The Basics: Born 1947 in Brooklyn, NY. Master's Degree in Stage Design; studied music abroad with Nadia Boulanger in Fontainebleau, France; founded a regional theater company; briefly produced a New York City ballet company. Fell in love with the potential of the personal computer in the early 1980's. Founded ApTECH Inc. and wrote Abraxas. Worked with Borland for several years. Bought dBASE from them and founded dBASE Inc. in 1999. Recently, I've returned to photography full-time and passionately. It's one art that I can do alone - without a support staff, production crew or finance department. In many ways, it's the most intimate medium I know. The advent of the digital darkroom brought me back after 20-some years of dabbling part-time. I hope to end my working life peering through a viewfinder - amazed and enthralled by the world I see there. |
