Geography is destiny and that is certainly true here in the Cape Fear region. The historic downtown area of Wilmington, the beautiful coastal landscapes and the bucolic rural areas that are barely inland from the ocean all come together to provide a variety of picturesque scenes to capture with a camera.

Black & white photographs have always held a fascination for me - as a viewer and a shooter. I’ve always “seen” things in terms of light & shadow and my love for the area that I live in has provided me with a never ending opportunity to explore this familiar place in new and unique ways.

My goal is to make photographs ABOUT things - not take pictures OF things. I hope you see these images and come away with a sense of this place - even if you’ve never been here.

I was born in Poughkeepsie NY and have lived in Wilmington NC for the past 20 years. I’m a lifelong musician & photographer and I also build custom furniture.
