My interest in photography emerged during childhood. My father was my inspiration. An avid photographer, he expressed his love by documenting the daily life, celebration and travels of his children, relatives and friends. He encouraged me to learn the intricacies of the darkroom in high school, and gave me his Pentax camera during my gap year in Israel.
With the advent of digital photography, my interests evolved from a hobby to an avocation. Over the years, classes at the International Center of Photography, working with mentors, and exhibitions in juried shows have provided me with the technical foundation and confidence to bring my work to the fore.
Other projects have included documenting the daily life of the Abayudaya Jewish community in Uganda, and photographing my mother during the last year of her life. My favorite ongoing project has been photographing the kaleidoscope that is Brighton Beach.
