“Looking back over my interest in photography, there have been numerous periods and events that have drawn me back into the medium… escaping to Berkshire and Hampshire counties during my teenage years, shooting for my year books (high school and college), hitchhiking across country, a variety of other travel adventures, and buying a home years ago in Egremont.
”I was fortunate to take a couple of wonderful photography courses in college (B&W, with dark room film processing & printing) that focused strongly on light as the photographer’s medium. My wife, Michele’s more recent evolution from jewelry designer to painter also has inspired me, and has amplified my awareness and appreciation of color. It’s wonderful for us to be able to collaborate. We shared a venue in Pittsfield’s October 2019 First Friday Artswalk, which now feels like many years ago.
”Since March 2020, I’ve been more focused on local landscapes, finding solace in my frequent Coronamania Therapy walks. I love the interplay of light and color during the twilight hour on Baldwin Hill and the surrounding area, which has inspired me to attempt to capture the bucolic beauty of Egremont, Great Barrington and the Berkshires. I've also enjoyed capturing the wonderful street life in our community.”
