I have been an event photographer for 40 years. I have photographed more that 3000 weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvas and corporate events. I accept assignments now by referral only, which allows me time to enjoy the challenge of creating photographs for my own enjoyment. My personal work has been accepted for display by the Photographic Society of Philadelphia, The Sketch Club and Pennsynvania Hospital. Additional images "Ltd. Edition Art Prints" may be seen and purchased at http://pictage.com/170540
