Born in NYC/Bronx. Lived in Calif/Burbank. Then back in NY/Manhattan. Then Brooklyn. Then Rhode Island. Short stay. It's a little state, y'know? Then Mass. Got married, had kids - lived in upstate NY. Moved to Pittsburgh (lovely place). Thankfully back to New England and CT. 2 kids, dogs, cats, pool. Then 18 yrs later it was to Florida against my will - but 23 yrs. later...here I am. Love photography - well trained in film/darkroom and digital. Love Photoshop. Lightroom, well, I'm warming up to it but I can work faster in Photoshop and also behind a camera. Taught art K-12 for too many years. But I loved the kids and always did photography with them. Retired now. ahhh. Love to travel. Last trip spent 3 months in Switzerland. Did a lot of landscape photog. and just getting into headshots thanks to you. I see it a lot differently after listening to some of your presentations and outlook on portraits. It's all good...
