I was born in Brooklyn, New York, and have always been fascinated by the period of history covering the Civil War thru the Korean War. My interest in aviation probably resulted from the location of our house which was under one of the approaches to Floyd Bennett Naval Air Station. We had navy patrol planes and New York Air National Guard KC-97’s flying over the house at all hours of the day and night.
My original vocation covered 31 years doing product development, technical service and sales in the Plastics Industry. My first 35 mm camera was bought in 1980 for photographing my children, and I have been photographing air shows for about 5 years. Being a very low tech person, my latest camera is a Canon F-1n and I go back as far as a Canon Ftb-n. As long as I can keep getting transparency film, black & white film, and darkroom supplies, analog photography will rule.

I have been posting my photographs on flickr and Air Show Buzz. Recently, some of my photos appeared in two issues of an on line magazine titled “le cirque volant”. So I am hoping that this will be the first step in the development of a second career.
