I have been involved in fine art photography for many years, my primary interests being landscape, natural abstraction and still life. I print extensively in alternative processes including cyanotype and platinum/ palladium. Digital technology has also become another important creative tool in my work. I have found a new means of expressing the beauty of the natural world using a digital camera converted to infrared. I use medium and large format cameras, and have been drawn to specialize in pinhole imagery for the past several years. I find that pinhole is most expressive of the imperceptible passage of time, making visible that which is invisible to the ordinary eye, and of the mystery of non-human life which surrounds us.
But there is another aspect to my photography: that of capturing the fleeting, ephemeral moments of beauty and wonder that fade away all too swiftly. An itinerant musician on a cobbled street corner in northern Italy; a cat sunning herself in a kitchen window in Brussels; Bruges enveloped in morning fog; late afternoon sun filtering through live oaks and Spanish moss on a barrier island off the coast of Georgia. All these and many more cry out to be seen, photographed and appreciated.
So, in addition to presenting portfolios of my first love, landscape photography, this website also showcases groups of images from my other interests in photography. I hope it will give you the viewer as much pleasure as I experienced in the original moment of creation.
Enjoy!
