I have loved making photographs for many years.  The simple act of capturing an image allowed me to interact with the world I was inhabiting.

In my earliest years, I was a black and white Street and Social Documentary photographer, snatching moments of social movements and other meaningful events that impacted and transformed my worldview.  I sometimes imagined my images and art projects could lead to social change.  Several years ago, I began experimenting with hand-coloring portions of my black and white prints, and this eventually led to adopting digital technologies where I explored the world of color image-making and more recently, photo-montage.   And, I still enjoy being a street photographer.
