I married Ruth, my high school sweetheart, in 1983 and we have four children and 6 grandchildren. I have been the worship pastor at Mission Bible Church since 2004. We are located in Minooka, a southwest suburb of Chicago. I love singing, bicycling, music, Mahler, boxing, coffee, movies, The Beatles, sunsets, coffee, Mahler, the seashore, sunsets at the seashore, coffee, and… the seashore. Originally from New York, I grew up 15 minutes from the beautiful beaches of southern Long Island. I have a Fujifilm X-T5 that I use to capture the world I see. I also enjoy writing about the images that surface in my mind and heart as I work with the images from my camera. Thanks for stopping by!

Another moment from my recent trip back east.  I assume that all these fences are put in place to help control the movement of sand during the windy New York winters. Thanks for stopping by.

this endless journey

many journeys

Converging, or, diverging?

by my side

That’s my bride of 35 years patiently accompanying me on my photographic walk along the boardwalk. She was so accommodating… stopping with me each time I took a shot. Since high school…. by my side…

beneath the light

The next in a series from a beautiful, cold day at Jones Beach. Just loved these two walking by the sea, beneath the light.

We drove from Chicago to New York to surprise my parents on their 59th wedding anniversary and, to enjoy Thanksgiving with them, and, of course, to go to the shore. 

Fall moments

Apologies for the long absence. To celebrate my return to Photoblogville I give you a Fall moment…or two.

There is energy in the air.

Still enjoying getting out on my motorcycle as Summer gives way to Fall.
