I'm a Bucks County photographer. Actually, I'm a nature/documentary photographer who makes his home in Bucks County (PA) with my wife, three dogs and two cats. I believe, as Richard Bach said, “Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they're yours.” I photograph what is interesting to me. The last few years I’ve been documenting old taverns, mills, and other 18th and 19th century buildings before they fall to “progress”.

I started photographing in 1965 with a Kodak 35, 35mm rangefinder camera, c1940. I bought it at a pawn shop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota . I’ve worked as a photographer and darkroom tech for a newspaper and did children's portraits. In the early 1980’s my work was shown in a number of juried photo shows. By the late 1980’s I was busy making a living and I did little photography. I retired in 2007 and started shooting again.

I found a quote that fits my style of shooting - "My pictures are never pre-visualized or planned. I feel strongly that pictures must come from contact with things at the time of taking. At such times, I rely on intuitive, perceptual responses to guide me . . ." ---Wynn Bullock

If I had wanted to be a writer, I would have bought a typewriter instead of a camera.
