  • DIY Book Publishing  The world of book publishing is changing rapidly. I am in the process of researching and developing references for the new technology for Do-It-Yourself book publishing including Print on Demand and e-Book developments. As this is a work in progress, the best way to keep informed as I develop this information is to sign up for my mailing list shown above.
  • Revisiting the Classics  in this book I merge my photographs of live models into paintings and sculptures that have been enjoyed for centuries. Together with brief, insightful "behind the scenes" vignettes of the masters and their art, I present new images to offer fresh appreciation and interpretation for the classics. The images in the book are also availalbe as c-prints and greeting cards.
  • Wild Side Photography This is my website for the photo exhibits I have started to participate in. It contains photo galleries that include images I have developed over the years working with my models--some outdoors and some in the studio. Prints of the images can be ordered from this website. They are processed by Bay Photo, a professional processing lab that does really nice work. The prints will be mailed directly to you.
