About Me

I've been doing photography for about two decades. The bulk of my work has been shooting sports, ranging from Little League to professional teams in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Cleveland, Ohio areas for daily newspapers and a wire service organization (U.P.I.) until they ran into financial problems. My work and approach to photography has been influenced by the following photographers; Ansel Adams, Margaret Bourke-White, Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, David Hume Kennerly, Annie Leibovitz, Scavullo, Skrebneski, Stan Malinowski, Robert Mapplethorpe, Bruce Stevens, Bill Lewis, Mike Semple, Walter Iooss Jr., Herb Ritts, Bernice Abbott, Horst, Ken Marcus, and Arny Freitag. I am conveniently located half-way between Cleveland, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Erie, Pennsylvania (regionally) and approximately equal distance between Chicago and New York City.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Hair, make-up and tattoo artists interested in doing some TFCD projects.
