I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER. WHAT IS OF THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE IS TO HOLD A MOMENT, TO RECORD SOMETHING SO COMPLETELY THAT THOSE WHO SEE IT WILL RELIVE AN EQUIVALENT OF WHAT HAS BEEN EXPRESSED.

I AM A VIETNAM COMBAT VETERAN, ANTIWAR ACTIVIST, STREET PHOTOGRAPHER, GALLERY OWNER. I ATTENDED THE SAN FRANCISCO ART INSTITUTE FROM 1973-76. I STUDIED WITH AARON SIKIND, EDWARD WESTON, ANSEL ADAMS, IMOGENE CUNNINGHAM, WYNN BULLOCK, LEE FREIDLANDER, ART ROGERS, JACK FULTON, MARGERY MANN,PIRKLE JONES. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN POINT ARENA, CALIFORNIA, WHERE I LIVE WITH MY WIFE AND SON. I OPERATE THE THINK VISUAL GALLERY. I TRY TO PROVIDE SHOW SPACE FOR THE UNUSUAL, THE DISPARATE, THE UNDERGROUND. MY OWN WORK AND OTHER LOCAL ESTABLISHED PHOTOGRAPHERS IS FEATURED. I HAVE RUN GALLERIES SINCE 1980 IN SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA AND CHICAGO,ILLINOIS. I CONTINUE MY PATH AND ALWAYS THERE IS PHOTOGRAPHY.
