He is the author of 39 books, including children's books like My Name is Rocky, Theresa's Sock, Where the Bathwater Goes, The Worm Doctor, Last Year When I Was Small, Twenty-Five Cents, A Journey for Peace, and Where Did My Wonder Go? He has also written about Western New York's history, waterfront, architecture, weather, and a series of novelty cookbooks. As one of the region's premier photographers, his work has appeared in numerous exhibitions and galleries, including the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, The NACC, Burchfield-Penney Art Center, Rodman Hall Arts Centre, and the Art Gallery of Hamilton.
