As a photographer, Neil has travelled the world with his Yorkshire terrier, Zuzu, and his Chinese Crested, Jolie, to photograph images that evoke positive feelings and offer a unique perspective of people, places, and things. He owned his own gallery in Carmel, California, displaying the best of his images. These days he works with small point-and-shoot cameras to large-format film cameras.
Neil has been an avid skier, skydiver, and backpacker and finds much of his creative inspirations from the outdoors.
