Fine art Studio Photographer and Physician, I am a native of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I grew up. Early on I developed a love for photography, carrying a 35mm camera Pentax K 1000 with me where ever I went. I graduated in Medicine at the University of Buenos Aires and later came to the US where I completed my medical training at the University of Michigan and settled in Toledo Ohio. During this time photography was placed back as a mere hobby but these last years my first love has come back to my life stronger than ever. My Passion has never changed. Presently I shoot exclusively digital. A longtime darkroom nut, these days I am mostly interested in the “digital darkroom”. I am a self-taught Photoshop fanatic and shoot mostly Sunday evenings at my home studio or at location. My main interests are Studio and HDR photography, although I experiment with Photoshop creations from time to time. The greatest reward I get from this art is to be able to stir a memory, an emotion, a smile. In the end, touch a total stranger and connect. My Images Do Not Belong To The Public Domain.
