I have been capturing photographs for over 5 decades. I, like every other photographer, used to say "shoot", however, given all of the gun violence and mass shootings, I have decided, with sensitivity, to eliminate that word from my vocabulary and I now use words like capture and photograph.

I have been an industrial auctioneer conducting auctions sales of the largest high profile industrial manufacturing facilities around the world for over 45 years. I have always strived to present assets for sale in their best possible light in order to attract the best international group of buyers, maximizing selling prices. I very frequently am the photographer for our marketing materials, because I love the challenge of capturing the light in a multitude of settings, and I am a perfectionist!

In my global travels photographing industrial assets for our customized marketing materials, I also stop to look around to see artistically sound subject material. This is a vastly different approach to capturing catalogue-oriented images. My eyes instinctively gravitate to color, composition, unusual and rarely seen things in industrial settings. I have captured tens of thousands of images over the years that I have recently begun to review for artistic use, rather than commercial use.

I am proud to present these images as my first collection of images that I like, that possess a different quality and character than what I have produced in the past.

I am very pleased that I have been able to combine my passion for photography, my intrigue for industrial and manufacturing environment, with my global travels. I am also thankful that I took the time to capture so many images that I feel lend themselves to the presentation of photos that show more than just machinery and equipment.

Thank you for dropping by. I would love to hear what you think.
