My passion for photography started in the year 2000 when I bought a little cottage on the water, on a bluff overlooking the western sky and the Manhattan skyline. A neighbor had gifted me a photograph of our sunset as a welcome to the community. My front window at that little cottage has literally been a portal to the wonders of nature; sunsets, storms, full moons, etc. Some of those views I have shared here as well as some favorite photos I've taken during my travels.more
