In the early 1960's we lived near a racetrack and I started taking pictures of race cars and drivers... It would have been a dream to be a race car driver but... hey; you have to be crazy to drive 200+ miles an hour. Instead, I moved on to photographing for weekly newspapers... then photo-journalistic and commercial photography while in college at Seattle University where I earned a BA in Journalism. I also did photo editing for both the yearbook and newspaper. In 1972 I edited a yearbook that won a Publication of Distinction Award from Marquette University School of Journalism.
Since then I have worked in the photographic and printing industries, even spent some time with United Press International. Since 1989 or so I have been photographing full time only with clients around the world in almost every kind of business.
Now, while I still have a wide variety of clients, there are three areas where I am spending most of my time. One is food photography. Architecture is the other. And, publishing books about both is the third area of concentration. Photojournalism, products, and events are still a big part of my work.
