My photographs try to convey to the viewer, in a visually beautiful form, what I experienced at a particular moment. The viewer should be able to see through the images as much as I saw myself, and experience the same emotions even from a partial representation. This requires careful selection and visual interpretation to reveal the subject’s essence. Often, I can not explain in words why a particular image moved me. I try to capture images that have some beauty, inspire some strong emotional reaction, transport the viewer to a different culture, time or place, or have a sense of humor. Having been educated as an engineer and a lawyer, it has been difficult, yet rewarding for me to try to see the world not in the logical constructs of my training, but in an experiential way. I license images for all manner of commercial and editorial use and sell fine art prints. I specialize in photo journalism, travel photography and my work includes subjects ranging from panoramic landscapes to people and local culture to abstracts. Some of my photographs are sold through a variety of channels: from my websites directly over the internet, by stock photography agencies, and as photographic products (greeting cards, calendars, posters, etc.) through Zazzle.com. I am a semi-retired intellectual property attorney, of counsel to the firm of Dergosits & Noah in San Francisco, and live in Mill Valley, California, with my wife Lynn.
