Born in Ithaca, New York. Ten years on the East Coast, mostly Philadelphia. My parents moved me to San Francisco in 1968 and I have been in the Bay Area ever since, except for college in New York City. I've gotten deeper into books all the time – now I have too many books so I've begun to collect other things such as silver cowboy belt buckles. I'm always on the hunt for uncommon things. I like shopping, hunting for, and collecting things. Photography has kept me from going crazy and put me in better touch with other artistic people.
