1986
|
Began my studies leading to a Master's degree in architecture in 1990. I didn't so much as learn to make buildings, but rather to look anew at the built environment and its contexts. Studied with urbanist Karl DuPuy and regionalist William Bechhoefer. This education opened my eyes, figuratively, and set the stage for myself as a visual artist. It changed everything.

1994
|
Met and studied with educator and photographer Murray Bognovitz. His ability to 'reflect' as a teacher and 'absorb' as a photographer that classic mid century photographic sensibility, captured my attention. His enthusiasm was infectious and drove me to keep searching for what it was I was looking for in photographic expression. Eventually, as an assistant, he was a gas to work for and there was never a working situation he could not judge with perfect pitch. A great example for a budding photographer and still a great friend today.

1996
|
Met fine art color photographer and teacher, Frank Diperna at the Corcoran School of Art. Introduced me to fine color printing during several courses taken with him. This also expanded my photographic vision and ability to think conceptually.

|
|
1997
|
Assisted architectural and fine art photographer Maxwell MacKenzie for 2 years. He taught me everything I needed to know about architectural photography, but especially about lighting. This fundamental knowledge of lighting a scene, greatly informed my printing sensibilities. He also showed me what it was like to be an artist in the real world.

|
|
1997
|
Met photographer Jay Maisel at the Santa Fe Workshops. His broad understanding of color, light and gesture, encouraged me to find my own configuration of these essential elements. He also showed me that you can be a big shot in photography and still be a nice guy.

2005
|
Met educator and consultant Mary Virginia Swanson at the Santa Fe workshops. She helped me understand how to bring my work into the larger world of fine art photography. An indispensable experience.
