Biography
A native Brooklynite and living in Manhattan for many years, I've been shooting New York City since the dawn of the 1970s.
Wandering the streets with my cameras, I consider myself an urban observer. I try to capture the city's environment - structures, signs and, most of all, the fleeting moments of people on the streets that will soon disappear into thin air.

Over the years, my photos have appeared in a variety of publications, including Black & White magazine, SHOTS, Street Photographers Notebook special monograph edition, London Evening Standard, Daily Mail, Docu Magazine special edition Jeff Rothstein, Mojo, YES Yoko Ono exhibition catalog, URBAN Unveils The City And Its Secrets vol. 7, Stir the Pot, Imperfect Poetry, The Pictorial List: Volume One - New York, and Fillmore East: The Venue That Changed Rock Music Forever.
My photobook, Today's Special: New York City Images 1969-2006, was published by Coral Press Arts in June 2017. It is in the collections of many university and institutional libraries.
Numerous features on my work/book have appeared in the press.
