Basically, I'm a people photographer...candid or semi-candids are my first love. I love meeting and photographing people all over the world. Having two teenage children gives me a lot of opportunity to shoot right near home.
I live in a small New England town, very patriotic. That gives me lots of photo opportunities, also. Most of the scenics you see are near my home.
