I began studying Photography around 1965 at the Institute of Design in Chicago. My studies with Aaron Siskind, Joe Jachna, Arthur Siegal and Wynn Bullock gave me first hand experience with truly creative photographers.

At the Art Institute of Chicago around 1967, I began photographing the nude with Wendy, my wife, and I began making multiple image prints. Then for over fourty years I explored various techniques and processes while photographing the nude as a central theme.

In 1998 I began to work with pinhole photography. I use an oatmeal box pinhole camera to make 8x10 inch B&W negatives. With its extreme wide angle and distortion, the camera gives me results that are constantly a surprise. I develop the B&W negatives, scan them into Photoshop, and then colorize the image by pulling curves in each of the channels. I make an images rooted in 16th Century pinhole optics juxtaposed with 21st Century digital print manipulations. These newest photographs of mine are a hybrid of Photography and Digital Printmaking.

I currently head the Photography program at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York where I teach photography classes and an Introduction to Digital Media class.

Amazing work!  I love the blending of old and new techniques.

Hi Dan, good to hear from you.. that new painting and technique you commented on is something I am playing with and it could become a series, dont know yet. I have a student who painted people, muses, goddess type figures into her trees when we did this technique in class last session and her painting was more literal with the figures and absolutely amazing! I am more into the less is more thing.

of course your new gallery additions caught my eye in the disturbing way that they do

Very nice work.

Intriguing & inspiring,.. the photographs themselves are phenomenal - but what you've done with them in photoshop makes them extraordinary.
