I am a documentary photographer. I was fortunate to be born in an age when photography is possible. I was fortunate to have been born into a creative family that thought photography was not too nuts a profession to pursue. I was on staff at The Philadelphia Inquirer. I now freelance. I have friends and colleagues who are gifted photographers, photojournalists, musicians, writers, creators, entrepreneurs.
This, from my first art teacher, Mr Joseph Fitzpatrick: "Look...to see...to remember...to enjoy." Sadly, photography is not always about enjoyment, but it is always about looking and seeing and remembering.
