I am a 64-year-old photography artist with over 40 years of experience, evolving alongside the ever-changing world of photography. My journey began in the darkroom, where the magic of light and chemistry first captivated me. Over the decades, I have embraced the digital age, yet my heart remains deeply connected to the tactile process of analogue photography. My trusted Graflex 4×5″ camera continues to be a faithful companion, allowing me to slow down and immerse myself in the craft with intention and precision.

While I do not confine myself to a single subject, I am consistently drawn to the expressive power of black-and-white photography. Stripped of color, an image relies on contrast, texture, and form to tell its story—elements that, to me, reveal a deeper truth. Whether capturing the quiet intimacy of a portrait, the fleeting dance of light and shadow, or the raw beauty of the human form, my work seeks to evoke emotion and invite contemplation.

Photography is an ongoing dialogue between past and future, tradition and innovation. As technology advances, I embrace tools like AI to enhance and restore my work, ensuring that the images I create continue to evolve while preserving their essence. Through this balance of old and new, I remain dedicated to the pursuit of timeless artistry.

A Favorite Quote:

“It’s now very common to hear people say, ‘I’m rather offended by that,’ as if that gives them certain rights.
It’s actually nothing more than a whine. ‘I find that offensive.’ It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no
reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that.’ Well, so fucking what.”
