Mostly during the 60's and 70's, Peter lived on the cutting edge of what was then called the "Alternative Lifestyle." This series of photos shows people living communally, seeking spiritual awakenings, and exploring various aspects of psychadelia. And the beat went on....

This is a nice slection of photos that Peter has taken nthrough the years of various animals which grace the landscape.
|  | PHOTOS Baseball and the METS (23)
Peter has been a die hard baseball fan since 1950, and a die hard Mets fan since their inception in 1962. During the glorious mid 80's Peter travelled around with the team while compiling pictures for his 1987 book celebrating their 25th anniversary. Since then, Peter has followed the team relentlessly, with some photo opps here and there. Check this section out if you just love the Mets, regardless of rational thinking.
|  | PHOTOS Bob Marley (21)
Peter was lucky enough to travel around within Bob Marley's inner sanctum during the late 70's, while documenting reggae music for a book called "Reggae Bloodlines." Although that book is long out of print, these images of Bob linger on, as his legendary status continues to grow.

Carly has been Peter's sister for many years. He is proud to share with you just a small sample of all thentreasured images he has captured of her, both on stage, and in private, unusual spaces.

Although Peter now lives on the tranquil Island of Martha's Vineyard, these harsh, allienating glimples of urban decay are still timeless reminders of the struggle to survive with the concrete.
|  | PHOTOS Grateful Dead (30)
This is a collection of Peter's best work while touring around with the Grateful Dead, one of his all time favorite bands. Many of these images have been published in books, newspapers and magazines, and in CD booklets, etc. The value of these shots continues to grow.

|  | PHOTOS Historic Images (54)
An ardent photojournalist since the mid 60's, this selection of images highlights many of Peter's captures while working for various newspapers and magazines during the turbulant political and cultural changes of the late 60's to mid 70's. Peter still takes an iconic historical shot these days, but most of this section deals with the times when they were a-changin'.
|  | PHOTOS Led Zeppelin 75 (15)
Peter went on tour, briefly, with Led Zeppelin in the Spring of 1975 in Southern California. He was working with Stephen Davis for an article for the Atlantic Monthly. Although the story never ran, many of these photos surfaced in the book "Hammer of the Gods." His shot of Robert Plant flailing his arms while exclaiming "I Am a Golden God" remains one his signature pieces.
|  | PHOTOS Legendary People (127)
Through the years, Peter has had many rare photo opps with some of his favorite famous people. His casual and natural photojournalistic style gives a warmth and intimacy to many of these images - both new and old. Some personalities in this category have their own sections as well (carly, The Grateful Dead, Bob Marley and Led Zeppelin). Otherwise, this selection represents some of Peter's iconic images of those celebrated people that Peter admires the most.
|  | PHOTOS Miscellaneous Travel (8)
Although Peter tends to stick close to home these days, he has managed to travel a bit overseas, to the tropics and points in between. Here is a nice sample of his pictures taken while "on the road."

Aside from Peter's treasure Isle of Martha's Vineyard, his home away from home is in Jamaica. He has published 3 books about the music and culture from the land of Jah. Recently updated, here are some of the everyday images of the colorfilled fragrant life and sounds of that Island.

In 2005, Peter released a two CD package called "Vineyard Sights and Sounds." It consisted of a music CD and a screensaver CD. The photos used in the screensaver are all shown here. Unfortunately, the CD is no longer available, but the photographs, a nice selection of everyday life on Martha's Vineyard, linger on.

The ocean has always fascinated me. Luckily, I live within a few miles of some of the most dramatic shorelines in the world. Here are some of my favorite captures for you to savor.

This little grouping consists of those types of photos I like to take occasionally that seem like timeless moments that might last for eternity, without anything moving an inch!

It seems pretty easy to take a sunset or sunrise shot, but it actually is hard to raise the bar a bit higher than the your ordinary cliche type of image.clouds, sky, surrounding detail, composition and lens choice all come into play. Check these out!
