I am currently on a yearlong fellowship as a Director’s Visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

I am a self-taught artist. I began my professional career as a magazine photographer during which time my work appeared in many magazines, including The New York Times Magazine, The London Sunday Times Magazine, Life, and Harper’s Magazine.

I am represented by Gallery 339 in Philadelphia which in 2007 mounted a solo-exhibition of my street photography titled “In Private”. The show was very favorably reviewed by Edith Newhall in the Philadelphia Inquirer. This fall I exhibited a selection of my photographs and presented a lecture at the Institute for Advanced Study. In the Spring of 2008, my work was on exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and I also exhibited in group shows at Schroeder Romero Gallery in Chelsea and Black and White Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In the fall of 2007 my work was shown in the Pink show at the Perkins Center for the Arts. In addition, I have had solo exhibitions at the Leica Gallery in Tokyo and French Trotters in Paris. My work is held in the collections of The Museum of the City of New York and The Buhl Foundation.

I am a member of the faculty at the International Center of Photography in Manhattan where I am a seminar leader in the full-time documentary and photojournalism program in addition to teaching in continuing education and community programs. I have also guest lectured at Vassar College, Montana State University in Billings, and the Museum of Biblical Arts in New York City.

In 2009 I was invited to the UCROSS Foundation Residency Program and VCCA (Virginia Center for Creative Arts) and in 2007 I attended VCCA and the Jentel Artist Residency Program. In 2006 I was a winner in The Magenta Foundation’s Emerging Photographer Contest. In 2005 I was commissioned by the Franklin Institute Museum in Philadelphia to create an exhibit of self-portraiture. In that same year my work was awarded a prize in the Photo Review’s annual contest. I was selected for a two-year fellowship with the Center for Emerging Visual Artists which ended inn 2006. In 2000 I was awarded the W.K. Rose $25,000 fellowship in the arts from Vassar College. My photographs have won prizes in The Photo Review Annual Contest, Photo District News, and American Photo Magazine.

While my central focus is currently on a project of 1000 self-portraits which each combine the mediums of photography and painting, I continue my personal journal/street work by carrying a 35mm. film camera through every waking moment.
