I am a retired photojournalist whose works have been published by the Associated Press and in the Christian Science Monitor. I have worked for several daily newspapers, the last being the Salisbury Daily Times. I spent 5 years, on and off, photographing conditions in Third World Countries.
I have been fortunate enough to have been able to take months or years off for projects or travel. In the old days, there was always room for a skilled photojournalist to return to the trenches of the newspaper world. Those days are forever gone due to budget cuts and the Internet. And, if you haven't heard, everyone is a photographer these days! My retirement came at a good time.
Today, I live with my soulmate of forty-years and our 4 cats. While Aurence works on his amazing art I spend an enormous amount of time organizing thousands of photos lurking in my computers and going through boxes of negatives and slides, scanning them into hard drives. I also make handmade papers with Aurence, create photo cards, and dabble in whatever media catches my fancy. And then there is this website.
Both Aurence and I are environmentalist, animal lovers, and vegetarians. We love to look at something we might otherwise throw away and wonder what kind of art could be made from it. That is how we started making our specialty papers.
We both hope you enjoy our collections. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
