Photography has been an interest of mine dating back to high school when I acquired
a hand-me-down Kodak 110 Instamatic. A few years later I purchased my first 35mm
camera and enrolled in a photography course during my freshman year of college. Back
in those days, I always enjoyed taking photos of family vacations, holidays and special
events and in turn created fond memories.
As digital photography came of age, it provided all levels of photographers with a costeffectiveness
that has allowed for more adventurous shooting opportunities. This is when
I was struck with the desire to capture some of the beautiful landscapes and landmarks
along the Jersey Shore.
There is a special feeling you get when you find yourself amongst nature with camera
in hand, whether on a beach jetty with a beautiful rising sun or in an isolated area of a
county park as a dramatic sky unfolds before your eyes. The beauty of our Jersey Shore
has provided me with the good fortune of sharing some of my photography in a variety of
publications, including magazines, calendars and a book.
