The Steeple 1892. The surviving steeple once standing tall above a church that at times since its construction in the mid-1920s, functioned as a Baptist Church, Temple Emanu-el for a Jewish congregation, Scottish Rite Masons, Methodists, and finally Korean United Methodists before they abandoned it in 2005. An arson fire caused an estimated $250,000 damage in April 2012. Preservationists failed to save the main building, but the demolition company bought the land to save the spire from a wrecking ball. Now they plan to incorporate the soaring structure into a housing project on the site at Colvin and Tacoma in Buffalo.

I was raised in northern New York State before joining the US Navy where I became drawn to the technical aspects of film photography. During my travels I learned composition techniques, developing, and printing from serious amateurs and professionals. I eventually became more interested in the artistic side of this hobby and continued to explore more creative aspects. My interests focus (no pun intended) on the out-of-doors beauty of our world, both natural and man-made. I hope you enjoy viewing my images as much as I have enjoyed capturing them.
