Sam has enjoyed an interest in photography since age eleven. For many years, it was a simply a hobby, used for the typical family and vacation pictures. When he began his work in visual art, the camera became an instrument for recording subject matter for paintings. As of 2002, his files contain more than 15,000 photographs. At the request of the Randall Library at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, upon his death all of his photographic material will be given to the library. The following pictures are examples of his photographic work:
