My interest in photography was a natural outgrowth of being a life-long “travel rat”. While a kid, my family moved often, and not always across the street. Ninth grade was in Hawaii and twelfth grade was on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. I took my first camera along when our Navy Seabee battalion made it’s amphibious landing at Chu Lai, Vietnam in 1965. The early years of exploring Asia and taking pictures was just the beginning of a life of travel and photography.  By 1968, I was working for Scandinavian Airlines in Los Angeles, and had set up a darkroom at home and was seriously learning the craft. A couple years later, I joined Thai Airways in Los Angeles, and in 1974 transferred to the airline’s headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand to work as promotions manager and ad agency liaison. In that capacity, I traveled throughout Asia, the subcontinent and Europe photographing the many destinations Thai Airways served, for use in advertising, posters and other promotional materials.  Capturing the beauty and soul of exotic places like Bali, India, Thailand and Nepal, was more than an adventure. After nearly four years in Bangkok, I returned, first to San Francisco, then Seattle, to manage the advertising and brand image for Thai Airways in North America, for the next 15 years. After 25 years, I left Thai Airways and worked as a brand image consultant to the Boeing Co. in Seattle, helping their customer airlines in China, Japan and Vietnam. In 2002, I moved back to California’s central coast and resumed my passion for photographing remote and exotic places. Living in Cayucos, I work the bluffs and inlets between Montana de Oro and Big Sur, capturing the unique beauty of this stunning stretch of coast.
