After 30 years of writing and editing, I've recently turned my creativity towards photography. I capture detailed views of city life, often photographing reflections to add unexpected takes on familiar elements. From urban scenes, I also create kaleidoscopic images in which new combinations of lines, shapes, and colors present mesmerizing patterns.

My photos have appeared in juried exhibits:

• "Look See:: Photographs on Reflections," Brooklyn Artists Gym, Brooklyn, N.Y.;
• "20901, 20902, 20903, 20904, 20906, 20910," Gateway's Heliport Gallery, Silver Spring, Md.;
• "Photo Focus," Touchstone Gallery, Washington, D.C.;
• "My Hometown," Washington Gallery of Photography, Bethesda, Md.; and
• "Rhythm and Blue," Montgomery College, Rockville, Md.;
• "Art on the Small Side," Touchstone Gallery, Washington, D.C.
• "Winter Follies," Photoworks, Glen Echo, Md.

One of my photos won third place in the annual national juried exhibit at the Washington Gallery of Photography.

I've also had about 10 images in each of three group shows at Photoworks, Glen Echo, Md. I have also had two solo shows at Temple Emanuel in Kensington, Md., and a two-person show at Westmoreland Church in Bethesda, Md.

My past projects include "How Buildings See Buildings" and  "Vivid Venice."  I am currently working on photos of demolition sites.
