At the age of twelve I was given a camera and a roll of film. My fascination with the technology of how it worked and the magic I could perform by pushing a button has stayed with me for years. It is responsible for my graduation from Rhode Island School of Design, my job as a photo researcher at Magnum Photos, and my long career as professor of photography at City College and Manhattanville Colle
ge. It is my passport to travel, my excuse to stare and a means of providing others with great memories. As a freelance photographer I have worked for numerous magazines including Esquire, Forbes, Fortune, and The New York Times. My work has been widely exhibited, and is included in several permanent collections including the Brooklyn Museum, The Museum of the City of New York and the Museum of Contemporary Photography, in Chicago. I was a Fulbright finalist and the recipient of the Women’s Research and Development Fund Grant from The City University of New York. I am available for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Weddings, and other happy occasions.
