Hello from Paris. I'm a newspaper editor by profession, but for the last decade I have also been making photographs. These are quite separate and unrelated endeavors. Work and play, so to speak. This site is principally about my photography (which is to say it's about me). But you will also find (eventually) odds and ends about my other interests and doings.  I would be delighted to hear from like-minded people (and even from unlike-minded people).

GALLERIES

What constitutes a good photograph?  Definitions abound, but the simplest I can come up with is this:  A photograph is good when when one never tires of looking at it.   Just as a good symphony will reveal something new even at the 100th listening, a good photograph will always surprise on careful observation.  It offers something unique to each viewer.  But it also reveals something — a lot, really, to anyone who cares to dig — about the photographer. On this site you will find images that, for one reason or another, I felt compelled to shoot and then print.  It would be presumptuous to say they are good.  I hope at least that they come across as interesting.   

The images in my galleries are not digital photographs; they have been scanned (with varying degrees of success, alas) from traditional hand-made prints.  I'm happy to discuss technical details (such as I may remember, or have noted, them) with anyone who may be interested. Please note: Reproduction of images on this site in any form whatsoever is prohibited without my express written consent.   (But if any image so grabs you that you'd like to purchase a custom print, e-mail me and we'll discuss.)

(A number of the images here were taken on the Greek island of Skopelos, and from a safari in Tanzania.  Click to see what I have written about these places.)
