I was born in New York in 1951, have practiced photographic art since 1957, and have a B.A. in photography from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. I taught photography and art from 1982 to 1996 at Marylhurst College in Lake Oswego, Oregon.

In 1995, I organized a group of a dozen artists who joined me in a nine year long systematic photographic exploration and documentation of the city of Portland. (www.PortlandGridProject.com) My second group of a dozen artists completed a second nine year re-exploration and round three is in progress.

In 1997 and 1998, I took three trips to Paris and rephotographed 500 of the images made of that city by Eugene Atget between 1890 and 1927. (LensCulture interview)

I am a co-founder and past president of Photolucida (a Portland photography festival formerly called Photo Americas) (www.photolucida.org). I’m a co-founder, co-curator and Board Chairman of Blue Sky Gallery (www.BlueSkyGallery.org) where, over the last 46 years I have co-curated and co-produced 887 solo exhibitions and 58 group shows. I am a co-founder and current member of the co-op Nine Gallery. I have edited and produced around 60 art and photography publications.  In 2003, I was the Bonnie Bronson Fellow.
