Peter has taken photographs since he was a teenager, but only much later in life turned photography into a profession. After pursuing his BSc and MSc in Earth Sciences he had a long and successful professional career as a geophysicist. Peter and his wife of 52 years shuttle between their homes in New Hampshire, USA and Meghalaya, India. Peter is happiest anywhere quiet, capturing images of ice crystals, bugs, cracks in paint, dew drops, floating leaves or patterns in beach sand. He is currently exploring and documenting “natural art” formed without intent by natural or accidental processes.
