One of the other great passions in my life is photography.

Photographers can do magic – we have the ability to stop time, if only for a fraction of a second.

Photos have the ability to connect people or divide them. Photos can evoke strong emotions. Photos allow us to look into the mirror of our humanity in all of its many forms.

My area of specialty is theatrical and fine arts performance (concerts, etc.) photography. It allows me to combine two of my great loves: performing arts and photography. I also enjoy taking portraits, especially of artists of various types.

The photo on this page is of our youngest daughter as “The Leading Player” in the Westborough High School production of Pippin. I am fortunate to have 3 very talented daughters who have provided me a wealth of photographic opportunities over the years.
