Paul has been taking photos since he received his first camera, a Kodak X-15, as a gift at 12 years old. His first public work was for the Houghton Star, his college newspaper, in 1985. He spent his childhood and young adult years in New York, studying philosophy at rural Houghton College, in Houghton, New York, and studying social work at Hunter College School of Social Work on the upper east side of Manhattan. Since 1993 he has resided in the Big Sky and Bozeman, Montana area photographing the beauty of nature and friends.
