• I have been learning and practicing photography for almost fifty years, although I did a lot of dry-shooting in my early years of involvement. For several years I did freelance photography for annual reports, brochures, and the like around the 1970s in Turkey.

    I have had three successful exhibits, issued a limited edition folio, and sold dozens of photographs that hang on the walls of art lovers. I have over a dozen magazine ads that feature my product photography. Most are full-page ads, some even a double spread. I have produced many self-published books of my photographs for gift giving and for sale.

  • I am interested in photography as a form of art, a form of personal expression, and enjoy reading about photography as much as doing photography. This helps me understand myself and what photographic art means to me. I have developed a list of books that I recommend to anyone interested in discovering this aspect of photography. Visit the mini-store I created at Amazon.com, it lists recommended books and those I plan to purchase sometime. I periodically add new titles as I have time.

    I collect old cameras in addition to the new ones that I use; I enjoy looking at them and playing with them and plan to add a gallery of camera and other photography paraphernalia in the future.
