Public Market

'Public Market' - 1979                                                                                                                                                   snake

FIRST ARCHERY DEER.  I began rifle hunting in 1989 and had many memorable hunts in the Adirondack Mountains, NY.  Then in 1993, a friend convinced me to try bowhunting and after a long season, I finally killed my first archery deer, a nice seven point buck, in December of that year.

I began photography as a junior in high school in 1977.  I didn't know photography until my freshman year at RIT in 1979.  That September, my instructor showed the class the 'decisive moment' photographs of Henri Cartier Bresson.  I had to learn how to shoot in that manner and since September of 1979, I haven't cropped one image and have exhibited only full frame, black and white pictures...'Public Market' being my first.

I haven't hunted with a rifle or shotgun since my first bow kill back in 1993.
