Welcome


Thanks for visiting my web site. I hope it will interest you in the exciting world of nonfiction writing, photo essay, and on-the-spot reporting.


ABOUT THE WORDS:

The late film director, Robert Altman, once said, "I'm not trying to show you how I think life should be, I'm trying to show you how I find it." That, in effect, sums up the kind of nonfiction writing I do. I bring you facts, up close, personal, and as I find them.

Much of the information found in my books comes from talks with people from many walks of life. Although the topics we explore are quite different, a common thread is always present: the urge for self expression.

The people who participate in my books reveal themselves, warts and all, as a way to begin a conversation. A conversaton with you.

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS:

Photographs are another way to get to know person, a place, and even an idea. I take hundreds and hundreds of photographs until I feel that I have the one shot, just one, that either expresses or complements the words in my books.

In my journey as a photographer, I've searched for new and different ways to show motion. Sometimes I portray dancers and athletes who are always in motion. Sometimes I show walls that stand still, and yet move in their own special way.

Putting this web site together is fun. And it keeps changing. Please visit me in cyber space as much as you'd like.
