About

In the early spring of 2005 I was having a discussion with my wife Robin about our 25^th anniversary cross country road trip which was still three years away. We both agreed that we would eventually need to look into purchasing a decent digital camera. Prior to this discussion I had never really given much thought to still photography and in fact did not even own a good 35mm camera. A self professed gadget freak, I was on line the next day looking for a respectable point and shoot digital camera. I immediately starting taking pictures and quickly realized that I was seeing everything differently. It didn't take long before I upgraded my equipment and developed a true passion for the art of photography.

I've been active in the arts since junior high school when I became interested in acting. Since then I have appeared in numerous professional and community productions at venues ranging from the Bucks County Playhouse to Wilmington's Grande Opera House. I am also a member of Barry & The 8-Tracks, an eclectic cover band doing our own "Barryfied" versions of tunes from Crosby, Stills and Nash to Sonny & Cher.

After all of those years of taking direction and following a script, I find it artistically liberating to create my own vision through the lens. Whether it be photographing a country landscape or a street person in Central Park, I often find it most satisfying to transform an ordinary subject into an image that creates a lasting story.

Currently I spend most of my time either shooting images for independent musicians to use in CD cover packages or setting up creative portraits for folks who want to capture a moment in time.
