I invite you to embark on an ongoing photographic odyssey - one of exotic locales, colorful characters, strange customs and untold adventures. Not to be overshadowed, New York City, a microcosm of the world, pulsates with art, fashion and culture, with surprises and contradictions all its own. Long Island beckons too, from North Fork vineyards to South Shore beaches. I hope my paintings and photos inspire and inform.

Caravaggio - Out from the Darkness
Caravaggio was as intense in his personal affairs as in his art. He was frequently arrested for street brawls and died less than thirty years old in a sword fight. He was an incomparable genius and he influenced generations of artists all over the world with his amazing use of dark and light, or "chiariscuro".
