His photographs were published by Time Magazine, the New York Times, and the Associated Press. Seven of his photographs are included in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, including a variant of this photograph (titled “Provincetown Fishing Dragger”).

His landscapes and portraits were done in rich black and white tones. Will consider a reasonable offer. Ships with FedEx Ground.
