I have split my intellectual and artistic life into multiple domains. I was an avant-garde poet for 30 or more years, a translator of Russian literature, a screenwriter, a cultural anthropologist (vampirologist), and am now reviving my interest in photography. I became serious about photography back in the 1970s, when I developed my own film and prints. My first serious digital camera I took to the Rhodope mountains of Bulgaria in 2010 to document an early spring folk festival with kukeri. More recently, this past spring, I traveled in Ireland finding and capturing ancient carvings know as sheela-na-gigs. My just-finished project was landscape photography in Iceland.
