Photography – New York - Brooklyn

NYC born and raised in Brooklyn. Excelled in visual arts as a child, taking up photography in my late twenties. Traveled to Mexico and Central America when I was seventeen, opening my heart and mind to a diverse world. Majored in history with a focus on Asian studies in college. Married to a Caribbean American woman for thirty years, indulging in my twin creative passions: cooking and photography. My photographic focus shifted over the years, starting with nature photography, then shifting to Afrocentric subject matter with particular focus on color, shape, texture and the dynamic creative energy of the culture. I am now exploring creating images with my photographs modified with digital tools, special effects, etc. blending my photography with digital graphic design elements into a modern art form for the digital age.
