Fine-art Photographer
I love capturing images of landscapes, seascapes and historical architecture that emotionally move me in some way. There is an inexplicable EXCITEMENT as well as SERENITY that I feel when I am out actively capturing these images… like hunting for treasure. I constantly study everyday scenes that exhibit some INTERESTING characteristic of line, light, shadow, color, shape, texture, reflection, or pattern. Then I CLICK!!
I also greatly enjoy the process of photo editing, which allows me to "push" images beyond what the camera captured.

I am the lead singer and guitar player in a Portland-area band called Bluehill where we focus on performing blues and Americana music.
I am the local coordinator/organizer for the Ableton Live recording software User Group here in Portland Maine where the members discuss the art and technology of modern music composition and recording techniques. I enjoy writing software programs using the programming language, Python, that assist me in writing new and interesting musical compositions.

Historian/Researcher
I volunteer at the Scarborough Historical Society where I do research on 19th & 20th century history of the town. I am currently working on a "Then and Now" project where I've recaptured recent images of historic Scarborough homes that were part of a collection of images taken over 70 years ago.
