I became interested in photography as a ten year old when I received
a gift of a Kodak Brownie box camera. I immediately began taking pictures
of animals at the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn, New York, and was forever hooked.
At age 12, my best friend and I assembled a darkroom in the bathroom of my home,
which unfortunately did not please my mother. I continued taking
photographs as a hobby for the next 40 years, while pursuing a career in
economics. When digital photography and photographic software became
available, I started an on-the-side business as a photographer. Since
retiring last year and moving from Washington to San Diego, photography has
become a profession.
My greatest thrill as a photographer is to realize that my
work will hang in someone’s home or office and bring them joy for many
years. I love to combine photography
with hiking. At these times, I am completely transported to a place both peaceful
and serene.
