My interest in photography began when I took my first camera along to Vietnam in 1965, courtesy of the Navy’s Seabees. After that, I began a long airline career and at the same time, started studying photography in earnest. I worked for Thai Airways in Bangkok for several years as the airline’s advertising manager and company photographer, and traveled throughout Asia and Europe photographing the many exotic destinations the airline served, for use in our advertising. Later, I worked for Boeing in Seattle helping customer airlines in Japan, China and Vietnam with branding and advertising. In 2002 I moved to Cayucos, and began capturing the capricious moods and theatrical light of this remote coast, and other dramatic landscapes.
