During the 40 years I worked as teacher, dorm parent, registrar, bank teller, travel agent, receptionist, secretary, administrative assistant &  project manager, I always had my camera at hand to capture the moment, both at home and at work.  With the advent of digital media, my focus shifted from still photography to video, but I never slowed down.  I was hard-wired to document.   I couldn't help myself.

 

In recent years my documentary urge has finally taken a break, but I have amassed a huge archive of still photography and video footage that are destined for oblivion if I do not take action.  It is time for me to start the hard work of sorting that archive, saving and sharing parts of it with family, friends and beyond.  I am particularly anxious to share my documentary films of West Concord and Providence with a wider audience for the historical record.

 

Thus the reason for this website. I hope you enjoy it, and if you like what you see, share it with others.
