I was born in Los Angeles. My father was Jack Douglas, the Emmy winning comedy writer and my mother was actress & vocalist Marion Hutton, who was the only female member of the famed Glen Miller Orchestra. I started my photojournalism career while still in high school and was regularly published in scuba dive magazines of the day. In the 1980's for reasons that escape me today I decided to get into the family business and into TV & film acting. Looking back I was more woodden headed than Pinocchio when he entered the same profession. But at least I had a head start. I was a real boy! Well, as you surmised, I didn't become the big star (though I'm still in the Screen Actors Guild). There was nothing to hold me in Southern California so in 1991 I moved to the most beautiful spot on Earth, the Monterey Peninsula. Not knowing what to do for a living, I blew my last credit card on a used Nikon camera and underwater housing. Since then I've been published in many periodicals throughout the world and have traveled to many exotic places from Africa to the Arctic. Funny where life takes you!

Yes, size does matter!

The title of my website is photographer & photojournalist. Which means I'm a photo-grapher and a writer for hire. Sometimes I do both. I specialize in underwater, nature and wilderness subjects. You'll see that in most of my images. But I've also written travel subjects, biographies & sports. I've learned to be as versatile as possible. Since the kind of photography I do could be called rough & tumble, I'm the guy who'll dive under arctic ice to photograph the greenland shark or get up at 3am and climb to the summit of some peak to get the sunrise shot. I strive to bring an intellegent, enter-taining and sometimes humorous style to each article I write. As well, of course illustrated with first rate photographic images.
