I am mostly retired from both commercial photography and my workshops, but am still involved with my personal photography. I am usually available pretty much anytime, but usually only get involved with subjects which include subjects of personal interest. Some of those interests include model headshots and portfolios, fashion and beauty photography, glamour portraiture, dance photography, gymnastic photography, macro photography, and specialized lighting techniques - both in the studio and on location.

          I have taught many different workshops on all aspects of photography and digital enhancement techniques, initally in film and after about the year 2000 in digital photography. Initially, I taught at the Washington School of Photography, and later at the Maryland Photographic Workshops. I am currently located in the Olney/Silver Spring/Rockville area of Montgomery County, MD. 

          A little history: The Washington School of Photography (WSP) began in 1976, in Northern Virginia. In 1978 it moved to Bethesda (later Rockville) where I started teaching in 1981 and taught there for over 36 years. In addition to being an instructor, I also held various administrative positions including Associate Director and Technical Director. WSP ceased operations in 2016, due to being taken into Chapter 7 bankruptcy by it's sister organization, the Washington Artworks. WSP had joined Washington Artworks in 2013 to become the largest non-profit 501(c)3 arts organization in the Metro area. The combined organizations then leased a 35,000 square foot facility to operate, and at one time had over 65 separate artists of all types as residents in their facility. Unfortunately, Washington Artworks was not able to effectively manage all of the space, and soon fell into arrears of their lease requirements, despite the WSP continuing to generate a significant profit. Since they were now one organization, they both went under.  Maryland Photographic Workshops (MPW) was formed in August of 2016 as a MD non-profit corporation by several WSP instructors, including myself, primarily to rescue the 20 or so professional students that were in the middle of their Professional Certificate program and that would have been left hanging. We are proud to say that all of the professional students that stayed with us, were able to successfully graduate with the MD accredited Cetificate in Professional Photography that they had signed up for at WSP. 

          For a number of years after the WSP passing, I have been using varoius rental studios in the Rockville area for my workshops. Several years ago they have all closed down, for various reasons (financial/ death).  Recently I have been using the Emagination Studio, in Reistertown, for most of my workshops. The studio is located at 526 Berrymans Lane, Reistertown, MD 21136, and is owned and operated by my friend and fellow photographer Kenny Epps. Kenny recently retired, and built this wonderful studio addition to his home in Reistertown. He is a graduate of the WSP Professional Program and had been a regular attendee at many of my workshops over the years.

There you will find a listing of the workshops I will be teaching in the future, as well as some of my personal photographic efforts.
