Originally from the east coast, I've called LA home for the last 10 years. I am an engineer by training and an avid photographer in my free time. I first learned how to work a camera on my dad’s Exakta Varex IIa back in the 1980’s, shooting black and white negatives and developing them in my high school dark room. For me part of the joy of taking pictures has always been in setting up the lighting and having an intuitive sense of the physical principles of imaging that lead to a compelling photograph.
For the past 20 years the highlight of my day has always been walking my neighborhood for exercise and to relieve stress. When I’m walking, my mind travels to thoughts of the day, important memories and reminiscences of the people close to my heart. During this time, my mind will often settle on visual details in the world around me. They break up my thinking process and help me let go of things that have been holding too much of my attention, allowing me to focus and reconnect with the natural world. The photos I’ve selected here are all little gifts that the universe has shared with me in those moments. I share them here with you and hope that they bring you thoughtfulness and joy as they have done for me.
