Based in Upstate New York, I travel the country with my large format view camera and have completed hundreds of projects throughout the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, documenting historic structures under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation act of 1966. My projects include cement, steel, wooden, Pratt, Warren, Howe, Melan, Camelback, and Pegran Truss Bridges; farmsteads, military sites, hospitals, electric transmission lines, gas stations, feed stores, grain elevators, coal processing plants, iron mines, passenger depots, flour mills, woolen mills, lumber mills,train sub-stations, coast guard bases, schoolhouses, outhouses, lighthouses, power stations, hydro-electric plants, wooden dams, missile sites, copper mines, plantations, and grange halls......to name a few.
My work with private, public, governmental and corporate clients has been incredibly rewarding and has allowed me to generate a truly unique portfolio of work that will show future generations who we are, what we have created, and what we have become.

What is HABS HAER HALS?
Heritage Documentation Programs (HDP) is part of the National Park Service. It administers the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), the Federal Government's oldest preservation program, and its companion program: Historic American Engineering Record (HAER)
This video Introduction to the Heritage Documentation Programs is narrated by HABS Chief Catherine Lavoie and beautifully describes and celebrates the history and goals of the HABS/HAER/HALS programs. This website from the National Park Service shows representative SAMPLES of HABS/HAER/HALS projects and describes the different levels of documentation.
HDP conducts a nationwide documentation program in partnership with state and local governments, private industry, professional societies, universities, preservation groups, and other Federal agencies. The program assigns highest priority to sites that are in danger of demolition or loss by neglect, and to National Park Service properties. In addition to the summer recording program, documentation enters the Collection through mitigation activities under appropriate sections of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, submissions in prize competitions, and donations.
Documentation provides a permanent record of the nation's most important historic sites and large-scale objects. The Collection is unique in the strong support it enjoys from its institutional sponsors and the public, and is distinguished in its national scope, consistent format, archival stability, and continued growth. The documentation contributes to wider recognition and appreciation of historic resources as National Historic Landmarks, provides baseline documentation for rehabilitation and restoration, and makes available well-researched materials for interpretation and illustration. Unsurprisingly, it is the most heavily used collection at the Library of Congress' Division of Prints and Photographs.
