Fortunately, the numerous productions Ray has created have been seen throughout New England, with a broad audience in the attendees at NECCC getting to experience the personal awe and joy of an extraordinary photographer. Ray’s years as a pediatrician have given him an insight into what makes children so endearing, and his “kid” photographs are delightful and unique. Marathon races are another of Ray’s favorite subjects, and his photos, again, are filled with soul.  An avid film photographer, Ray admits only to having “gone digital” by way of having a cell phone with a camera component.
