Behind and Beyond the Lens

So I have decided to take a try as subject instead of auteur.... I trust that this will be a fortuitous journey that I'm embarking on, since I have always been fascinated with photography (it's a bit of a generational pull in my family) and longed for many years to really embrace it as a career that took me to faraway lands and meeting interesting people. I still believe that is part of my life, as my stints in international news coverage and personal portfolios lead me to conclude. But as any actor knows, getting into the director's chair or even the producer's helps to give a rounded perspective in the medium known as visual art and storytelling.

I will have faith...
