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.

Light at End of Tunnel
Shooting in the subway poses many obstacles. The ISO must be raised, and an eye must be kept on approaching trains, especially when near the edge of the platform. In this picture, I wanted to capture the train as it entered the station but snapped a moment early - truly another "happy accident". The light is eerie in quality, especially in black and white, and I love the way the rails glisten. Anticipation is often better than reality. This is the critical moment, a second before our expectations are realized. /New york
