About the Book
But what of the town that sits at the bottom of the hill, below both the church and the highway? This book mixes words and photographs to tell the unique story of New Baltimore, a town where past, present, future, and faith all intertwine and have played out for over 200 years, amidst the Light that is their Church, and the Shadow of the Turnpike.

About the Creator
After over 30 years of practicing law and trying cases, photography found me in 2012. I wander with my camera. I am an observer. Surprisingly, in my wanderings, I found a similarity in the photographer making images and the lawyer presenting facts to a jury. In the images I make, I bring my lawyer's training in documenting and presenting facts, the facts that I observe in my wanderings. I present those facts to the viewer, who sits as the jury evaluating the reality I am presenting. Overall, my wanderings are best summarized by a famous quote from William Eggleston, who said, "Often, people ask me what I'm photographing, which is a hard question to answer. And the best what I've come up with is I just say: life today." Life today....that is what drives my work.
