I like to take pictures of all sorts of things and have since I was a very young child. My first camera was an Agfa Record II from around 1950 that I got when I was too young to appreciate it and it ended up in pieces. I wish I had it now – it was 15 years old when I got it and now it’d be over 70.
For a living I’m doing a lot of portraiture and headshots, higher end real estate, commercial, and editorial work since moving from New York City to Rhode Island a few years ago. The bulk of my work in New York was based around music and there’s a lot of that on this site. Things were just getting going when COVID hit and it’s starting to pick up again.
In my personal work I’m interested in the isolation of everyday places and things from the vernacular landscape. Currently I’m looking at the present condition of the mills, factories, and infrastructure in Rhode Island and where they’ve been, where they are, and where they’re going. What was once a powerful center of the Industrial Revolution is now mostly crumbling and much of it is just slipping away unnoticed. I’m trying to document what’s left and how the relationship with these buildings has changed and might change in the future. And Rhode Island is a visually quirky little state, it’s very photogenic.
I was born in New York City, lived in Pennsylvania, Germany, Connecticut, and Florida for varying amounts of time and now Rhode Island. New York is where I spent most of my life and it’ll always be home. Up until COVID I was still working in New York a lot and getting set up in Rhode Island and have a well equipped studio just outside of Providence.
I studied at Hartford Art School with Robert Cumming, Mary Frey, Jack Goldstein, and Gilles Giuntini, all who were instrumental in my thinking in extremely different ways.
