About Me
Interest in art and photography since childhood. I was raised near Chicago and made many trips to the Art Institute, my music school was just across the street.
Undergraduate: University of Chicago Indiana University Medical School : University of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine 1973-1977, M.D. Internship : Hahnemann Medical College & Hospital, Philadelphia National Health Service Corps 1978-1980 Radiant Life Clinic , Clearlake, California 1980-1982 In private practice in Shortsville, New York since 1986 Over many years I have occasionally done water color paintings for friends, and attempts at artistic photography. I got serious in 2008 with purchase of a Nikon D40X with Tamron lens, eventually got a D90 and it fell into a river. Current camera Nikon D300s with Tamron 18-250 aspherical lens. I photograph almost everything, many interests. I find myself moving more and more in direction of abstract works, minimalism, but I love color and complexity. I also do woodworking and have built 2 violas and a violin bow, with some tutelage. I love classical music, books on spirituality and philosophy , especially the work of Avatar Adi Da (check out www.DaPlastique.com !), wine, neuropsychology, Neurofeedback, ice hockey (Buffalo Sabres !).

I continue to be impressed by the continued work of Costas Kyriakides with the PhotoCyprus web site. I discovered the site by accident and really enjoy doing the photo competition. One has to be willing to accept the criticism of the judges, but it's great to hear the praise also. I put a lot of photos up because I like all of the photo categories . I think I am becoming a better artist as a result of preparing photos for PhotoCyprus, I hope that adding my photos motivates good amateurs to compete. Set the bar higher ! I would really like to see 1 or 2 other categories added to the amateur competition.
I did my first wedding at Virginia Beach in 2012, talk about difficult ! I did photo editing in Capture NX2, Photoshop Elements and Silver Efex Pro, learned how to use Blurb's book editing program and Adobe Lightroom, experimented with soft proofing in Lightroom as the first wedding book attempt had Horizon Blue dresses showing a purple cast , I learned a lot more about color spaces/color gamuts, finally ended up with a great book.

I discovered this web site/ artistic community through Bonikaki Dora, who liked one of my photos on Facebook. I hope to bring some interesting photos to the group.
