I did college and graduate work in art history and English and worked in publishing in New York for 10 years. After I moved to Woods Hole, Massachusetts I worked for almost 30 years as archivist and curator at the Woods Hole Historical Museum. I wrote many historical articles and books during that time. I have been a photographer since 1971 and still pursue this as much as I can. My books of photography have been published by Blurb since 2012.
