BIO:
Once upon a time in the
early 60s there was a towheaded little boy who had so many Hot
Wheels cars that his mother didn’t know where to put them all. So
she decided to plop the boy on a large couch, and with the help of
his sister, they lined up every car on the couch to count them. By
the time they were done, there wasn’t much of the boy left to be
seen. They had also lost count. His father found this all quite
amusing, proceeding to grab a Brownie camera and photograph the
scene. “OH, what is THAT?!?, said the little boy, and his father
just laughed. Almost a half century later, what you see here, is
what became of the little boy and the
cameras that followed….
Peter has a great love of trees, winter, and
vintage autos that
often figure prominently in his images. He
predominately works in Black and White. For
over 25 years, he
worked throughout the US and Europe as a commercial and
auto racing photographer
with numerous clients and
publications
being
published throughout the world. He
followed with an exploration of cinematography, becoming a respected
director of photography winning awards for his
work. Over the past decade,
Peter has returned to his roots and his love of the still camera,
concentrating on fine art B&W work. Some of his influences
include Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell, Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts,
Brad Washburn, and
Weston.

Peter
proudly calls
central Vermont his home where he lives on 36 forested acres with
his wife Jacqueline and his favorite assistant-their dog Snowball,
and one small tractor,
exploring new visual possibilities. He is an avid naturalist
and
environmentalist, yet remains an old gear head. He also teaches
classic photographic technique on a selective basis
and dabbles with furniture design.
