About the Author
I grew up in Berkeley in the 50s and 60s, and graduated from San Francisco State and The Saybrook Institute. After a career in psychology, I moved on to corporate life with Hewlett Packard and Amdahl. In 1985, I started PowerSpeaking, Inc., a Silicon Valley communication company. I retired in 2014.
Photography has been a serious part of my life from the time I got my first Brownie when I was 12. Throughout my career, photography and video have been an important resource for all my work.
Photographic Reflections is my first full-on photography book. Blending all parts of my background, I like to joke, If Sigmund Freud and Annie Leibovitz had a baby, it would be this book.
