SUMMARY: I was a university professor of mass communication until my retirement and relocation to Greece in 2001. My last position was as a visiting lecturer at Louisiana State University. My life-long photographic endeavors extend from documentary black-and-white images (in two published books) to fine art (exhibited in solo exhibitions and national competitions) to digital catalogs of wildflowers (the present endeavor).
