www.crescentmoonphoto.com also see my business page on LinkedIn.comI have been passionately taking photographs since my grandfather gave me my first Brownie camera with B&W film more than 55 years ago, and spent my youth documenting everything I did along with all family events. As a young adult, I upgraded to a better camera and continued documenting the family at weddings, parties, reunions, portraits, sports, dance, etc. While in college I was hired as one of the school event photographers. During days of film, I photographed multiple weddings, which turned out great, however, I decided I didn’t need that type of stress so did not pursue the avenue of wedding photography. I was the family and extended family photographer for events, sports, dance, headshots and family portraits. My two children grew up with my camera always on them and are extremely comfortable with it, one pursuing a career in dance, modeling and acting and the other an amazing videographer and photographer himself. I documented their entire lives and all of their events and have much experience with sports, dance, headshots and family portraits. I worked in IT for 44 years while continuing photography on the side and now that I am retired from IT, I’ve invested in a great camera, lenses and amazing studio lights and equipment. I am ready to work with you to create your images. With me, your image matters and you won’t be disappointed as we work together to help you project your best self.

"The Pleiades Award was created to honor one individual (man or woman), each year, who has shown exceptional support of the OWA and of women in the optical industry.""This award is named after the star cluster "The Pleiades" in the constellation of Taurus. "The Pleiades" is also known as the "Seven Sisters" - referring to the seven brightest stars in the cluster. According to Greek mythology, each star was named after the seven daughters of Atlas who were turned into stars by Zeus. Together these stars create one of the brightest clusters visible in the northern hemisphere, just as by working together, the women of the OWA have created an organization that is bigger and brighter than the sum of their individual efforts." (OWA website)2010 was our first annual Pyxis honoree, also in NYC, to honor a woman who works hard to promote and build the OWA.
