Beyond the Scalpel

Photography

I started photography at age fifteen and have been pursuing it since. My early interests were landscapes, cityscapes and street photography. Nowadays I am mainly a wildlife photographer. I also enjoy photographing the moon against various landscapes. Another favorite subject is San Francisco, a city I love.

Music

From 2000 to 2020 I lectured about classical music on behalf of the Stockton Symphony. Each lecture was about a select work to be performed in an upcoming concert. The lectures covered genres of symphony, concerto and choral works. The presentations began with historical context and continued onto a detailed description of how to listen to and interpret the work, with frequent musical examples. I am pleased to share the wealth of information I have accumulated over this period with a wider audience.

Wine

I’ve been a wine enthusiast since the 1990s. I participate in two local wine-tasting groups, visit countless wineries locally and abroad, and nurture a personal wine collection. Needless to say, this is accompanied by a broad culinary experience. You’re welcome to explore my blogs on this subject going back to 2006.

Books

I have been a writer for decades, initially as a magazine editor and later through blogs. Eventually, I published larger works, Dogmeat, a personal memoir, Appassionata, a collection of fictional short stories, and two crime novels: Mark to Murder and Cezar’s Last Mark.
