A photographer can preserve a moment and a place by using a combination of artistic vision and technical tools. Each image has a special meaning for me. For each, I can recall the light, the changing weather, and the unique photographic aspects of the scene. Oregon and the west are magical places to capture the extraordinary beauty in simple natural things.
I see the world photographically in black and white. The majority of my images are made with a large format 4x5 camera, but I also use medium and even small format cameras on occasion. I enjoy using film; I develop it myself, and then scan the negatives and print them with an archival pigment printer.
I hope you enjoy the images. Please feel free to send me an email with any comments or criticisms.
