The Photographer

I'm a retired ophthalmologist – an eye surgeon.

For as long as I can recall, I've loved taking pictures. When I was about 11 years old, my parents gave me their Argus C3.  Most of my photos were in B&W, and I was fascinated with trying new ideas & techniques in photography!

I was also captivated by the ‘science’ of photography; an interest that greatly contributed to my decision to choose Ophthalmology as a medical specialty. 

I've traveled extensively with the U.S. Navy for over 30 years.  After living on both coasts of the USA, plus Hawaii, Guam, and London – I’ve settled in the Washington, DC area.

I find beauty in many things -- landscapes, waterfalls, old buildings, flowers,  inanimate objects, textures, colors, and forms.  I'm always mesmerized by the way light plays on trees and across the landscape.

I hope you find my photographs interesting and enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
