Over my life, I've been influenced by many artists and photographers, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Alfred Stieglitz, Dorthea Lange, and the many great impressionists such as Manet and Monet. Although not famous, my grandmother, with her wonderful, expressive oil paintings of the New England coast has probably been my greatest inspiration. Over the years, my photography has had many ups and downs. It has brought me from the sidelines of Soldier Field to Glaciers in Alaska  and from shooting photos of children in a portrait studio, to photos of George Bush and Ronald Reagan at campaign events. As long as I'm shooting photos, there is never a dull moment. Currently, I freelance part-time for a local newspaper. Generally I shoot sports, but do get assigned the occasional feature. I find covering local events very challenging and rewarding. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have enjoyed viewing my photography. Cheers, Ken
