About me
Looking at photographs is something I've always been interested in. That's the story behind me becoming a photographer. My journey began with a fascination for images, evolving into a passion for capturing moments and sharing them with the world. I've always loved the photography of people like Stephen Shore, Joel Sternfeld, and Robert Adams.
I have been taking pictures for over 50 years, having used many types of 35mm, medium format, and large format film cameras. More recently, I have been shooting weddings professionally for 10 years. I have self-published a number of books on black and white photography, street photography, color film photography, and landscape photography. Some titles include "The Vernacular of Landscape", "Time and Space", "The Nature Within", "Conversations Without Color", and "This Life Unseen".
Before I take a photograph, I always try to gain a level of understanding for the place, the person, or the time.

My Style
I consider myself to be a straight photographer believing that seeing something as it is, is a more noble pursuit than relying on manipulation and extensive editing.
Besides photography, I am also a teacher, a technologist, and an avid radio operator spending some of my time communicating to friends all over the world via ham radio satellites. This helps me not only to see the world differently, but to develop better communication skills...
