I was born in Manhattan, raised in Newark New Jersey and currently divide my time between Manhattan and the Hudson Valley. David Friedman gave me my first camera at my 8-year old birthday party and I've been taking pictures ever since. I've upgraded my cameras but love my film images more than anything. I've had solo showing as well as been part of group showings in galleries. In addition to loving the visual, I've published 2 novels, articles and a doctoral dissertation on transgressive art and photography at New York University.more
