Observing the marks of time and the elements on both natural and manmade environments is my passion. As a photographer my goal is to capture the fragile beauty of these forces and present them to you as my poems without words.

After decades of working with film in large format cameras, I liberated myself from these self-imposed restrictions and learned to see the world through a new lens. My switch to digital capture has opened up new ways of working and seeing. It has also allowed me to make ever larger platinum prints, a goal I have worked towards for years.

I am still teaching workshops but am doing so under the banners of other organizations. In doing so I am freed to spend time on my own creative projects. With a recent upgrade of my platinum printing darkroom I now offer, under my tutelage, the use of this space to other photographers wanting to make their exhibit quality prints.

I am grateful for the people in my life who have influenced, taught and mentored me. To those who have called me friend I am humbled. To my sons and my wife, I am here because of you.
