Over the years, my work has appeared in numerous travel magazines as well as the usual photography magazines across the board. As a child and a young adult, I grew up in the streets of the South Bronx. In 1968 I joined the US Marines and was trained as a photographer. Once discharged from the Marines, I attended the School of Visual Arts in NYC where I received a BFA in photography. Upon graduation, I ventured out into the world of freelancing and I continue to do so today.
