Introduction
I have been involved in photography ever since I broke my father's Leica at the age of eleven. I shot for small newspapers (briefly) and for a local wedding pro. I have traveled fairly extensively in the United States and Europe, always with a camera or two.I have had little formal photographic education, which is both a Good Thing and a Bad Thing. I have sold a number of prints in small galleries, restaurants and art shows. I hope one day to be so successful in selling my work that I am actually required to report it on my tax returns.
Self-Promotion and Puffery
I am a published non-fiction and fiction writer, with music and audio reviews published in Stereophile, Schwann Opus and The Audiophile Voice. My short fiction has appeared in Solander, Shock Totem and Eureka Literary Magazine. (Don't you love it when work 'appears'? The magazine is lying on somebody's table, and then one day your story just shows up.)
My wife Paula and I live in a (mostly) restored Victorian house in Pottstown, a working-class decaying borough located just west of Philadelphia, PA (USA). We are both competent equestrians, although we no longer own horses. (I miss mine a lot.) We rode through parts of Wales and Tuscany (on separate trips), and I did a little bit of show-jumping on borrowed mounts. I am a decent harmony singer and very poor guitarist who fondly recalls participating in the 'Folk Scare of the Sixties'.
