I'm a fine art nature and environmental photographer from central Massachusetts, in the U.S. I grew up in Virginia, not far from Williamsburg. I remember as a teenager being able to drive the family car right up to the outskirts of the colonial park there (this was before it was Disneyfied) and being able to walk into the 18th century. I feel in love with history and with the idea of stopping time.
Fast forward, as a student at MIT I was fortunate to learn about the environment and the problematic relationship between civilization and the environment. As a Professor at Babson College, I developed a passion for the ideas of sustainability, and trying to figure out how to live in harmony with the environment while still having a civilization.
Now I'm a full time artist and a Professor Emeritus at Babson. (Y0u don't get paid for that but you do get to keep using the library which is helpful.). I'm a photographer and increasingly a film maker. I'm very fortunate, actually privileged, to be able to spend my time trying to tie this all together. You can pick up the trail below.
