About Me
Over the past few years my focus has evolved to become an exploration of how we construct reality, and in particular how our perceptions construct our definition of self and others.
The camera has proved to be a powerful tool in this work, and among the most exciting moments have been those when my work has caused someone to see a different, more interesting person in an image of themselves.
One's perception of reality can be altered by a single image. I search for the vivid spirit of life in faces, passion and desire manifest in human forms.
I love the size of 4x5 cameras, and I love my friend Bruce for allowing me the opportunity to experience the exquisite slowness of composing and waiting with itching fingers to see what such an awesome camera creates.
I have found joy in creating a pinhole camera from a broken Polaroid land camera. I love the depth and brilliance of slide film. And although I fought the conversion to digital I now accept it and have learned to love it although I still have and use my 35mms and my pinhole camera!
My work has been Published!
I am very excited to announce that a selection of my work (and an interview) have been published by FW Publishing in SNAP Magazine Issue 008
