I am a retired editorial and commercial photographer and educator now engaged primarily in landscape, nature, and wildlife photography in Western North Carolina. My professional clientele in Southern California included several major motion picture studios, publications like Elle, Harpers Bazaar, W, Woman's World Daily, The Los Angeles Times, as well as UCLA, USC, the City of Los Angeles, and numerous regional hospital/healthcare systems. For sixteen years I was a teaching Professor of Photography at Santa Monica College and taught additionally at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design.
