My photographs are on view at SECCA until March 4. The series is part of a terrific show called, Out of Fashion. Definitely check this out before it leaves town! It's FREE, people.
I began my career as a journalist. Reporting taught me about listening, observation, distillation, clarity. Then I began making up stories. I exchanged the literal for the literary and truth took a backseat. I earned an MFA in fiction. The same evolution has occurred in photography. I began as a documentarian, a truth finder, and then, after about five years, I started creating photographs based on stories, poems, moods and metaphors. The wordless language of art has opened up a new way of telling stories. I never could master Italian, but learning to speak in photographs has expanded my ability to communicate.
So thrilled that one of my portraits will become part of a yearlong exhibition put on by the National Park Service.
Thanks again to the sweethearts at Weir Farm Art Center in Wilton, CT. Their award of a fellowship is the gift that keeps on giving.

Two of my photographs are entering the permanent collection at Trinity College at the University of Melbourne. To say I'm happy to be included in their esteemed contemporary collection doesn't come close. Ecstatic is more like it. I encourage all to go visit! It's well worth the trip.
what a great new year's image!
