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.

Temple Grounds Seoraksan
A Monk poses in front of his monastery, in a temple within Mount Seoraksan National Park. He is a gentle figure. Calm and peaceful and self assured, relaxed posture, welcoming and bemused smile. His umbrella is practical and functional, reflecting his own persona. Portraits are quite different when they are "candid", that is without the subject aware, and when they are posed for. A pose reveals a great deal./people
