I'm a Professor of History at Albright College, and while I am a "self-taught" photographer, I've been at it long enough that I've taught myself a lot . An Ohio native, I did benefit from five years of early formal art instruction (from 4th to 8th grades) in the famed Saturday classes of the Toledo Museum of Art. Much of my photography centers on Albright - my colleagues and our students - and moments in the life of our community, whether artistic, intellectual, athletic or social. I've also pursued a recurrent project of civic photography - Faces of Reading - endeavoring to see each of the City's residents as an individual, all of us as a community.
