Hello all, I have been a photographer since 1973.

    I studied Photography with Commercial Photographer and Educator,

Mr. Robert Lonergan of New York.

   I spent three years under his guidance,

 learning the history and professional application

of photography and darkroom techniques.

 He also guided me to,

learn from Master Photographers, especially Ansel Adams.

I graduated from,

The School of Modern Photography

my family encouraged me to return to

Film, Digital Photography and the Darkroom.
