This is a blog for sharing a series of visual images that I have created. I do not claim to be a professional artist, but I enjoy creating within visual media. The initial posts will be works created using the Microsft Paint program. It will include both sketches and altered (photographic) images, and photocollages; in some cases, it will incorporate image materials found using Google Images. Later, I will share some original photographic images.
I wanted to create a beautiful tribute to the musical genius Miles Davis, and decided to frame a later black and while shot of him in bright yellow and to add a number of different colors in the form of both airbrushes and brush strokes. I had on the track "Spanish Key" from the album Bitches Brew, one of my all time favorite records, while making this.

I received a B.A. in sociology and urban studies from St. Peter's College, in M.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a PhD from Boston University, where I specialized in the sociology of knowledge, social constructionism, and social problems theory. My dissertation, a theoretical study of the foundations of the social constructionist perspective was titled "The Creation and Transformation of Social Problems: Social Constructionism and Social Problems Theory." I am a lecturer at Lehman College – CUNY, where I teach methods, political sociology, sociology of culture, and social problems. My academic areas of interest include social constructionism, culture, politics, and micro sociological theories. I am currently researching punk rock, hip-hop, arts communities, countercultures, and connections between marxism and ethnomethodology. My wife, Jolie, and I make our home in Beacon, NY in the Hudson Valley.
