I came across one of  the first images i ever made.

I was staying at the Plaza hotel in NYC with my friend Buddy who was a filmmaker.

It was then that i fell in love with photography ….

How lucky to find a profession that fit me so well

that allowed me to live the kind of adventurous life that i needed to live.

This is another very early photograph of my sister at the beach …

With all that is happening in the world i often stop  and just rest within myself.

In these moments i am overcome by a sense of well being , a deep gratitude rises in me

and i know that i am so blessed … we are all so blessed.

my sleeping boy, safe and healthy and full of joy.

I am grateful for so many things …

the most wonderful family

inspiring friends

creative work that i love

a cozy bed and home to live in

a garden with flowers and vegetables

a community that is unique and eclectic

life is so good!
