Biography
I became a photographer in 1973, when I first enrolled in a summer course at the University of New Mexico. Later at UNM I studied under such luminaries as Beaumont Newhall, Van Deren Coke, Anne Noggle, and Betty Hahn.
After finishing post-graduate work I lived for a year in the San Francisco Bay Area and briefly worked as an assistant photographer at the American Conservatory Theater. However, I missed New Mexico and returned in 1983. I then worked for an airline for twenty-two years, which afforded me long vacations, during which I was able to travel as photographic assistant to my friend and mentor, Anne Noggle. We went to Russia on six, month-long trips to work on Anne's book, A DANCE WITH DEATH: Soviet Air Women of World War ll, and to England, Eastern Europe and Italy for business and pleasure. While assisting Anne, I photographed but rarely showed my own images.
By the mid 1990's I nearly stopped photographing altogether, but in 2004 the digital revolution rekindled my desire to work. Since then I have been scanning and printing thirty-plus years of neglected images, and making new ones.
I am currently photographing New Mexican descansos- roadside memorials that mark the location of highway fatalities, and am the official photographer for ¡Globalquerque! and Avokado Artists.
