Inspiration from the Straits of Taiwan...

During the Vietnam Era the US Coast Guard was the only branch of the military that would guarantee, in writing, that they would send me to a school after completion of boot camp - in exchange for a four-year enlistment.

So, after a year studying radio communications in New York City and another year on a "search and rescue" ship in the Caribbean as an apprentice radio operator, year three  proved to be life changing. I was sent to a tiny island in the northern Philippine Chain (see map) as radioman in charge. 

There wasn't a great deal to do after work, so, I began making black and white photos of my surroundings. What started out as a hobby to fill the time, soon became a passion and, ultimately, my life's work.
