Welcome. I am pleased that you made your way to my website. I have displayed portions of several recent projects and I will be adding to the collections as time permits. Please return frequently.

My current focus is the 'Homeless' project. I have met with, interviewed and photographed close to 100 homeless people on the streets of San Francisco thus far. I have also recorded many of the interviews in the individuals own words. I am planning on adding voice clips to the photographs. I think it would be especially interesting to see a person's image and be able to hear some of their story as well. I have releases for all Individuals pictured.

This experience with the homeless has been very meaningful for me. I have come to gain an understanding of the stresses and difficulties the homeless experience on a daily basis. I have gained an appreciation for the ingenuity that many display in going about their lives. Let there be no mistake about it, life on the street is tough. I plan on continuing to explore this community and have a longer range plan to publish the images and stories.

Occasionally the thought occurs to me that 'There but for the grace of God, go I'. Perhaps that should be the title for the project.
