My web site exists as a simple tool to share my work with those that might be interested in what I do. My research and specialization is primarily focused in the areas of photomicrography, biomedical photography, and laboratory imaging applications where photography is used to gather information. I have also become more interested in the exploration of how Images produced for science are viewed as art by the non-scientific audience.

I have been at RIT since 1986 when I was hired as an Instructor to teach Biomed Photo 2. I presently serve as the Chair of the Biomedical Photographic Communications department and teach numerous undergraduate courses spanning all levels of the curriculum. I also teach a variety of workshops including a week long seminar course, Digital Imaging using a Light Microscope sponsored by the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. I am also currently serving as the Chair of the Lennart Nilsson Award nominating committee which is also organized at Karolinska.

While at RIT, I have been actively investigating problems and related issues found where photography is used to acquire and preserve scientific data. These investigations have resulted in various publications which are accesible by following the link that is shared below. I also served as the editor in chief of the Focal Encyclopedia of Photography-fourth edition which was released March 2007.

Photography has always been an enjoyable way to spend my time and I feel truly privileged to have experienced the opportunities that have come my way thus far. Several interesting projects that I have co-produced are the RIT Big Shot project and the Images from Science Exhibition. I have been the recipient of the RIT Eisenhart Award for Outstanding Teaching, the College of Imaging Arts And Sciences Gitner Prize, and the BioCommunications Association Schmidt Award. My recent photographic work has been focused on snowflake photography undertaken of course during the long and often harsh Rochester NY winters.
