I’m uncomfortable with labels. It’s awkward for me to be introduced as a photographer, or a filmmaker. Worse yet, (shudder) an artist.

Art is how a lot of people respond to what life presents. It’s an action, not an identity. I think I am probably engaged with the same mysteries as my ancient ancestors. Well, some of them, anyway.

In addition to these creative pursuits, I am a co-founder of Sunset Piano, a unique music collaborative. We produce the Flower Piano music festival each year in the San Francisco Botanical Garden. I live in the Mojave desert, and I play a little piano, too.
