Welcome
to the my website. I hope you will explore this resource, which will
introduce you to my photography and my book All in a Day’s Work:
Scenes and Stories from an Adirondack Medical Practice which was co-published by Syracuse
University Press and the North Creek Railway Depot Preservation
Association in June of 2004. You will also find links to my
professional background as a physician in the Hudson Headwaters Health
Network and a member of the staff of the Glens Falls Hospital. For those
who are interested in ordering original photographic prints or using my
photographs for commercial or other purposes, you can contact me via
email here. Please explore the links to other websites that are connected
with my photographic pursuits.
I
have been practicing rural Family Medicine in the southeastern
Adirondacks since 1981. Long before I became a physician however, I had
developed a passion for Adirondack photography starting when I was eleven
years old. A native of Glens Falls, I spent the summers of my youth at
Sunnyside, my extended family’s summer home in Pilot Knob on the eastern
shore of Lake George. During those
magical summers in the 1960’s and 1970’s, I developed a great
appreciation for the history and natural beauty of the Adirondack Park
and Glens Falls, especially as portrayed in the magnificent writings and
photographs of Seneca Ray Stoddard. I learned how to take pictures with a
Brownie 127 camera, and have been taking pictures ever since. Over the
years my cameras have evolved from 35mm to medium format to digital,
while my subjects have evolved from the landscapes of the Adirondacks to
my Adirondack patients. A small sample
of some of these images can be found here, and over 100 can be found in
my book. My writing has found its
way into various magazines, including Adirondack
Life, The Penn Stater, and The
American Journal of Nursing.
