About Me

Words. Images. Stories.

That’s what I’m about.

I was eight years old when I realized that my job was to create . . . connect . . . and wander in places most people avoided. Some called me a free spirit; others said it was karma. Kabbalists whispered the word gilgul.

I only knew one thing. It was me.

My life is filled with the ordinary and extraordinary; the real and magical. They overlap every day, in and outside my imagination, like reflections on a New York City skyscraper,

new-york

an old man lost in the past,

man

and a tree igniting the sunset.

I write books, blogs, and articles. I take photos and create photo paintings. I merge words and images to enrich both.

As an author, photographer, social worker, and friend, I want to connect with you and the world we share.

Let’s take the journey together.

“You have the sense,” he whispered gently in my ear.
