Peter teaches classic photographic technique on a selective basis and dabbles with cartooning, painting, and furniture design. Peter is a competitive sailor, as well as an avid motorcycle and sportscar enthusiast.

"a master of black and white conversion and processing in the digital age. ...signature contrast and tone make for beautiful visuals and strong drama in the photographs."

-Jean Bardaji, Leica Boutique

"Peter's stark, sere images, whether of the high desert, the high Sierra, or of a thousand-year-old lodge pine effortlessly take one on a journey through space and time. It’s not just the subject matter that calls to mind Ansel Adams’ work. It’s the timeless, limitless clarity of the images themselves that create that sense of awe and humility about the planet we live on".

-Alexander L. Aldrich, Executive Director, Vermont Arts Council
