About me: I am a designer by training & for a number of years did just that. I hold a degree in design from the University of North Carolina, Raleigh and an MFA from Stanford University. I was a visiting lecturer at Stanford for nearly a decade. Over time, I found myself doing more managing than designing so I began the journey back toward the arts. Encouraged by a designer wife, Jane G. Derby - a professional photographer daughter (NYC), Erin Derby - and cinematography student (SVA), Dan Derby III - it seemed like I was rejoing a family business. In addition to photography, I write stories on a variety of subjects for a variety of clients. However, my wedding work is the purest form of story - your story. |

writing |
|
| When there is time and opportunity, I write.
Sometimes for magazines & newspapers. Many times for on-line publications. In the popular press I write about people,
their homes, jobs, hobbies In the business press, I have done features on operations management & technology mostly in trade magazines. This is a fallout from my hi-tech career . . . my curriculum vitae is here. For fun, I also write about technology & it's social impact and have published in places such as Strange Horizons, Renaissance Magazine. Some of this has evolved into a talk I call "Stuff - simple things that changed the world." Some samples of are here (warning, some are quite ancient). |
