| I was born and
raised in
Brooklyn, New York. At the age of ten I developed an interest in
birding after watching Black-capped Chickadees feed on the seeds of
giant Sunflowers in a neighbor's yard. Some years later, after
obtaining a graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, I found myself
in San Diego, California. I'm still here. Through the years I dabbled with photography, mostly landscapes. In 2001 I purchased my first digital SLR, the Canon D30, and my interest in photography became more serious. After taking a local bird photography workshop, I became passionate about photographing birds. Recently I have begun presenting Slideshows of my images to organizations such as, the San Diego Field Ornithologists, the Photonaturalists Camera Club, the Sierra Club, The Fallbrook Camera Club and the Rancho La Puerta Resort in Tecate, Mexico. I've also begun leading Workshops of my own. Click on the above links for more information and schedules. Although you will find a few images of other nature subjects on my website, it's really all about the birds.
