Your Bio
I am a native of Atlantic City, NJ.
My hobbies were primarily related to electronics and Amateur Radio as WB2GUK since 1962 excelling in using Morse Code at 75 words per minute.
Before retiring, I spent 34 years as an engineer supporting Air Traffic Control Enroute computer systems.
My love for Jazz started at an early age listening to the likes Jimmy Smith, and groomed into listenening to BeBop and Avant Garde by my life long friend, drummer Harvey Mason.
Twenty five years ago (or so) , I started photography as a secondary hobby and found a passion for photographing Jazz artists in live performance, as a means of retaining their performances for personal memories. My passion has expanded to “Capturing The Moment” of the performers for all to see, and to encourage listeners to come out and support The Art of Live Jazz.
While most of my work surrounds performances in the Philadelphia and South Jersey areas, I regularly photograph performances at the JVC Jazz Festivals in Newport, Rhode Island, New York City and a variety of other venues in the Northeast United States.
My work was featured as the cover photograph for late internationally known vocalist Jon Lucien’s last CD, “Live In NYC”, as well as feature articles in Down Beat, and numerous other various Jazz related publications.
Each photo album can be viewed in a variety of convenient ways by selecting the "STYLE" pulldown menu.
Your comments on my photos are welcomed, and encouraged. Photos can be voted on by using the 'Thumbs up or Thumbs down' in the viewing window
I reside near Atlantic City, NJ
