I grew up in the Bronx during the 1970s, a time when open spaces and empty lots were abundant playgrounds for curious kids. I still remember walking my German Shepherd, Bruno, through Seton Falls Park and the nearby woods. Somewhere along the way, life pulled me in other directions, and for 40 years, I lost that connection with nature. Today, I’ve found my way back—hiking through forests, explorin

g new trails, and rediscovering the same sense of wonder I felt as a kid. It becomes just you, the quiet of the woods, and the challenge of reaching that next peak. Photography has been a similar journey for me. I was given a Pentax ME-Super for my birthday one year, and it sparked a deep interest in capturing the world through a lens. I dove into learning how light, shutter speed, aperture, and depth of field worked together to tell a story. The tools have changed, but the fundamentals—and the thrill of the craft—remain the same. Now, whether I’m hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, or skiing (both downhill and cross-country), I always bring my camera along. Each adventure opens a new window into the natural world—one I’m grateful to witness and share through my photography. It took 40 years to return to what I’ve always loved. And I’m so glad I did.

First time finding a Ruby-throated Hummingbirds nest. Look at the size of the maple leaves for comparison. The nest is so small and covered in lichen for camouflage.

Recently had the opportunity to attend Sony’s Alpha in Residence event at the Academy Mansion in NYC, where attendees were able to get hands-on time with some of Sony’s newest gear and hear from Sony Artisans and Alpha Collective members.

As part of the event, I joined a photo walk through Central Park which turned into an excellent wildlife outing with plenty of birds and other urban wildlife making appearances throughout the afternoon. The 2 walks I went on were led by and

All images were captured with the new Sony A7R VI paired with the Sony 100-400mm F4.5 and a 1.4x teleconverter. The combination delivered incredible detail, reach, and autofocus performance in the field.
