Morning on the Raritan Bay
  I want to use this space not to advertise my photographic services, but to enlighten, entertain, and maybe just make you think a bit about how you look at photographs. This page will feature a collection of writings (and in some case, rambling rants) about my views on matters photographic. I'll try to keep the "advertising" to a minimum and the entertaining to a maximum. This page will always be a "work-in-progress"...

  In addition to this site, I keep a gallery on photo.net which is actually easier for me to keep current. You'll find my gallery here.
