Since 1971 I have taught English in the Williamsville Schools in Amherst, NY. Outside of my work, my chief interests are field botany and photography. In both avocations I am self-taught. However, I have attended classes in botany at the Buffalo Museum of Science, and studied photography with Paul Bauer at the Creative Craft Center, State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, and with Nancy Stuart of the Rochester Institute of Technology at the Visual Studies Workshop (Rochester). All of my photographs are printed by me in black and white.
In 1989, several friends and I founded the Western New York Old- growth Forest Survey, and, in 1994, I prepared an exhibition of my photographs depicting sixteen old-growth Forest Survey, and, in 1994, I prepared an exhibition of my photographs depicting sixteen old-growth woodlands discovered and described by the survey. Photographs from the Western New York Old-growth Forest Survey enjoyed eight exhibitions in and outside western New York.
In 1997, I completed a second collection of my photographs entitled American Athens: Greek Revival in Western New York State. This collection appeared at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society from March to May 1999, and traveled to the Genesee County Museum and village from June to October 1999 and to the Link Gallery at Rochester City Hall from January to February 2000. Future exhibitions are planned for the Dyett Gallery, SUNY at Buffalo, School of Architecture and Planning from October 30, 2000 to November 22, 2000, and the Olean Library Art Gallery, as yet unscheduled,
Currently, I am the volunteer site manager of the new Counterfeiter's Ledge Nature Preserve, a project of the Central/Western New York Chapter of the Nature Conservancy, photographing draft horses and planning several botanical projects.
