Artist’s Statement

My history with photography goes way back to my childhood. I always took photographs using hand me down cameras and cheap brownie cameras. I also made sun pictures and even did a few in my 50’s. In and out I had cameras usually second hand ones, or ones that friends gave me. Finally a few years ago I bought a digital camera and started photographing New York City. Photographs are not the only thing I do. I also make sculptures, collages and drawings.
