He was born and raised in New Britain, CT, moved to NYC in 1974, and has lived in Old Lyme since 2017. He finds great inspiration in the sights, sounds, and colors of NYC, and began to photograph upon moving there. Fred’s artistic focus is with light and shadows, patterns, and reflections in glass, metal and water. He strives to present familiar subjects in a way not usually seen by the viewer.
