I am a physician, and have been a Hospitalist with the Southern California Permanente Medical Group at the San Diego Medical Center since 1990. I have been a photographer for much longer, since my late teens. My children laughed when they saw a photo of me from my teens, a camera in my hands. Currently all three of them are in college—at UC Berkeley, UCLA, and San Diego State University. The eldest seems to also have inherited the photography bug.

My wife and I love to travel, and especially love Paris. Photography has forced me to see my surroundings with a closer attention to detail and to people.
