I have been involved with photography for about seven years.  Most of my earlier work involved shooting urban and architectural images in Europe. Three years ago I began to photograph the male nude, which is my primary focus at the present time. I have an extensive collection of mid-century male photography and paintings.  There is no doubt that the photographers and artists who so beautifully captured those men on film and canvas have influenced how I interpret what I see today.

It has been said that each snowflake is unique.  I see each moment in time as an intersection of subject, emotion, light and movement.  It is my goal to try to capture some of those unique moments/images before they "melt" away.

I prefer to use non-professional male models. What grabs my attention initially is usually the model�s eyes, mouth and facial structure.  A perfect body is not a requirement and I've found that often it is a detriment.  What I try to capture is the model�s "soul": that unique combination of personality, heart and past experiences that makes each flesh and blood man a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
