A fourth generation New Yorker, I was born in Brooklyn, graduated from Fordham University in the Bronx, and have been located for many years on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Before retiring, I had a long career as a photographer.  Although quite knowledgeable in digital imaging, I specialized in traditional film photography and was particularly skilled in making fine art black & white prints in a wet darkroom. In recent years I've begun a second career as an author.  My novels are currently available online at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Shown below are links to both my writing and photography (note that some photos contain artistic nudity) as well as the Japanese ghost (yurei) artwork that's also featured in  my new illustrated  novel And What If, a pdf version of which is available at this link at no charge.
