The photographs on this website represent my life in photography, from the early 1970s to the present day. I acknowledge and thank the following people who guided me, steered me and kept me afloat: Don Moore, my first Photography teacher, at American University; Mariana Schele Matthews, fellow student whose idea it was for us to attend graduate school; Minor White, master photographer who accepted me to be his student; Emmet Gowin, whose photographs of family were a profound inspiration to me; CJ Pressma, colleague at the Center for Photographic Studies and dear friend for more than fifty years; and Andrea Poole, whose support and love have been constants in my life.
