A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I am a professional photographer in South Carolina specializing in general stock, maritime, wildlife, and lighthouse photography. I have been published in many national magazines and am the publisher and co-publisher of numerous regional lighthouse and wildlife posters. I have led a number of tours for the Smithsonian Institution and produced multimedia slide shows for them and others.

As an exhibitor at the prestigious Easton Waterfowl Festival since 1989, I won the 1996 "add" card with a snowy egret image taken at Assateague Island in Virginia. I have given photography courses at this show, at the Wildfowl Trust on Kent Island Maryland for the Smithsonian, and numerous other groups in Maryland. I am available for photographic assignments, educational assignments, and speaking engagements.

A businessman in South Carolina...I currently market my own photography as well as that of others. As co-publisher of a series of state lighthouse posters, I have accounts from coast to coast as well as from Florida to Maine. I have sold my art to such corporate accounts as Host Marriott, Rusty Scupper Restaurant and Dupont's Chesapeake Farms, providing images for interior design, books, magazines, and brochures.

I wholesale and retail original photographs in the form of flat art, images packaged in mats, frames, and on CDs. These products are developed for the individual and retail buyer or customized for corporate and organizational product formats. I create CD screen savers and slide shows from my own and antique images.

I have over 20000, 35mm images, and 15,000 digital images in my library. Therefore, I aggressively market to magazine, book, and calendar publishers.

I make use of the newest marketing techniques to promote my craft, and have a keen eye both behind the camera and in the gallery. I serve numerous accounts using the Internet, attend many local and regional art shows, maintain corporate accounts, retail outlets, publishers, and galleries to promote the art of photography.

I have been published in Ducks Unlimited, The Smithsonian Associate, Harrowsmith Country Life Magazine, and the Shoreman Magazine covers for two years to mentionbut a very few of my photo credits. A Chesapeake Bay lighthouse book, "LIGHTHOUSES OF THE CHESAPEAKE", has been published exhibiting my images. Another book featuring a majority of my images is "SOUTHEASTERN LIGHTHOUSES". I have also written a number of articles published by regional magazines in both Maryland and New Jersey.
