I've enjoyed photography as a "serious amateur" since my early teens. After I retired from a 30-year career in chemical research, my enthusiasm for photography became renewed when I abandoned the darkroom and began to use digital methods.

A recent interest of mine is to photograph and study the habits of dragonflies and damselflies. These are the same insects I would fearfully avoid in the past–recalling the dire "warnings" about them that I'd heard as a child. I now realize that not only are dragonflies and damselflies quite harmless to humans, but that they are also very remarkable creatures; they comprise a populous insect order called Odonata. The jewel-like dragons and damsels deserve a close look, which is what I try to make possible with my photographs.

From time to time I have done product-illustration photography–mostly for local craftsmen who produce Early American reproduction furniture (see my "Early American Furniture" gallery); I invite inquiries about my services for "on-location" shoots in the Rochester (NY) area.
