Clients asked me to capture people, places, feelings, power, poetry, and joys: I was a self-employed professional photographer in Film and Digital times, for a total of about 37 years. My first professional photography -- 1967 -- was full-time summer Boston Globe photographer. I was given four to eight eastern Massachusetts assignments a day. We did all our own processing and printing. A glorious, hard-working three months with the cast of characters in the Globe's photography department.
First pro photography stint after US Navy service was almost all in Boston: photojournalism, advertising, corporate, and commercial work on location. In 1984 I built a studio which opened up new client and image creation options. In 1990 the studio added broader marketing communications projects and included writing and design responsibilities.
Consulting followed to US companies' market entry into digital photography. Digital was trying to supplant analog film capture. Companies needed to better understand shifting futures. New customers were foreign territory to their brands and marketing. How to navigate this fast-changing digital photography market? I spoke at Seybold and other industry venues, sized new markets and wrote case studies to illustrate market shifts.
Interesting Marketing Communications and Business Development positions came my way in software supply-chain services, digital asset management, and short-run database-driven printing startups in the later 90's.
In a sharp turn off this track, I dove into public school teaching in 2000 while earning a Master of Education degree at Cambridge College. And we moved to Hawaii's Big Island in 2004 where I taught several different class levels in my small rural town’s public elementary school.
I reentered professional photography in 2010, with clients that needed well-composed interior photos and impactful exteriors of high-end vacation rentals.
Since moving to Seattle in early 2017 my work has been personal only. Here we are in wonderful Seattle, across busy Eliot Bay harbor from a downtown cityscape. A step from the house are Puget Sound views and vistas of the Salish Sea. 
Night walks with Jack, our dog, through surrounding streets are full of the little views seen here on the site as "One Dog Night".
Satisfying exercise for me, Jack, and my eye.
