I am a writer and a photographer by avocation, not by profession. I am a storyteller and have been telling stories both in narrative form and visually since my earliest recollections. For me, writing isn't optional: I need to write.

Over the years, I've written TV scripts for the weekly magazine-style public affairs show I hosted and produced for 15 years, written weekly columns for 2 newspapers, published memoir selections and op-eds, taught writing to high school and college students, scribbled notes on surfaces of every kind, and written far too many "to-do" lists. Always a pen and camera within easy reach, most of the photos here have been taken with an iPhone SE.
