Look for my work at the Kubiak Gallery in Douglas and
Alexandra Winslow's in Saugatuck, Michigan
(check GALLERY tab).


My father was an outstanding portrait photographer in the
Detroit area for over forty years. In high school and into
college I worked weekends framing and cutting mats at
his photographic studio. While in college I shot weddings
for my dad when he was double booked.

My passion for the game of lacrosse at Michigan State
University superceded my interest in photography. After
playing the Native American game of lacrosse as an
undergraduate I became the second varsity lacrosse
coach at MSU.

I relocated to sunny Florida where I helped start south
Florida' s first lacrosse teams, coaching at the University
of Miami, and starting Fort Lauderdale's first lacrosse
club.

Nearly every summer I have returned to the small town of
Saugatuck on the shores of Lake Michigan. The views  I
captured along the Lake Michigan coastline have
provided a gallery of images which I have built upon over
the  years.

I feel fortunate that my renewed interest in photography
has occurred at a time where digital imaging and the
amazing quality of modern printers has completely
changed the boundaries of this modern art form. Fifty,
years ago my father took a half-tone photo and retouched
and added color by hand. Now we use point and shoot
digital cameras and in minutes those images are on the
computer screens of our family and friends..........truly an
amazing progression in imaging technology.
