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.

Early Fall
As chlorophyll production decreases with shorter days, less green is produced. The reds and yellow already there shine through.
Michael Lives
In a haunted corn field out east, a young lad is petrified by a Michael (from Halloween movies) look-a-like
Scarecrow
I find that black and white in this instance is more effective , in that it is more difficult to perceive the scary image. In fact, it is a surprise!
