Do you enjoy running your toes through the sand and refreshing your soul with the ocean breeze?

Well, so do I.  I love that in this crazy world I can go to the beach and my world changes instantly.

If you live on the coast, have a coastal vacation home or just enjoy taking a beach holiday whenever you can, then these images will bring back those memories like the rush of the waves.  Let your stress fall away, clear your mind and return to your peaceful happy place that these images provoke.

With Black Label Gallery I’ve created stunning coastal fine art photography images to keep you in the “coastal state of mind” no matter where you call home.

I acquired my first camera in Vietnam and am now celebrating my 50th year in photography.  The old joke of never having worked a day in my life is true.  I have been blessed to have photography as my career and my passion and now I’m able to use this great platform to share my passion with the world.

I spent several decades in the Washington, DC area working around politicians and sports figures, running my commercial studio for 20 years as well as newspaper and wire service photography.  I’ve received numerous awards and have been published worldwide, but retiring to Florida 20 years ago has allowed me to expand my photography to images of tranquility and calm as few other images can do.

Enjoy looking through the gallery and please contact me with any questions you may have. You can reach me at 239-777-7557. I’ll probably be out on a photoshoot, but I promise to return your call as soon as possible. I’d love to talk photography with you and to discuss the best image for your home, office or commercial space.

Website tips: This website is designed with the latest technology. Once you browse and select your favorite image to purchase, you may then select a variety of sizes, media types, finishes and frames.
You can then click on the “Wall Preview” and see the different sizes in relationship to different generic rooms.

Also, if you’re on your phone or tablet, you can select the “Live Preview Augmented Reality” button and see my photo superimposed on a wall in YOUR home or business. Very cool.

Enjoy your shopping. I hope you rekindle some memories!
