It's very simple .... I love to take pictures. My father's camera was rarely far from his reach, and many other family members often have a camera to their eye. The majority of the photos on my website were taken on the North Fork of Long Island, New York. I am a native of this area, my ancestors settled here over 400 years ago. I've been a photographer and graphic artist for many years, designing newsletters, logos, ads, cards, etc. I was raised on a potato farm in Northville, feeding chickens, milking cows, and other farm chores. Growing up without a television encouraged my interest in nature, photography, and tracing the family genealogy. One of my grandfathers was involved in the original purchase of Mattituck and Aquebogue from the Indians; and another was Supervisor of Southold in 1691. To sum it up, I love the local history, nature, and the beautiful North Fork of Long Island.

Note Cards and Greeting Cards

I can come to you (if you're local) and take specific photographs for you, or you can peruse my website for your choice of photos. I can supply postcards, blank folded cards, cards with sayings, custom calendars, etc.
