I am a bit of an old soul and am inspired by anything old. My home is filled with antiques, old family photographs, and toys from the 30's and 40's or earlier. I prefer things with a patina, signs of age, and history. This is probably why I love my city, and the part of it where I live, and why I prefer to use old cameras and film for my photography.

I founded sMacVision in 2004, originally only to sell my handmade greeting cards, which had become popular. The photo and illustration prints came next, followed by the jewelry.
I take all the photos you see in my shop. Nothing derives from stock photo, and nothing is enhanced with downloaded or bought textures, nor by canned photo effects and apps. I have the original polaroids and negatives to back up all the film photography in my shop, and one third of my refrigerator is filled with my valuable (mostly expired) film stores.I also scan all my own negatives and Polaroids, and handle all my prints one at a time on my Epson Professional Stylus Pro 3880 printer.

You can find my work in a variety of publications both in the US and abroad, including the Annual IPA Book, Photographer’s Forum’s Best of Photography Annual, a variety of other books, as well as magazines like Camera Arts Magazine, Gotham, and Color Magazine. It has inspired a famous designer's jewelry line, been used on album covers, been featured in galleries here in the U.S. as well as in Europe, and is held in private collections across four continents.

It should also be mentioned that I often walk the streets of my neighborhood at night with my cameras; so if you would happen upon me and ask me if I’m holding, I will assume you mean candy. And the answer will probably be “yes”.
