Artist Statement

All photographic images presented here are made with an analog camera. My preference to photograph with film comes from my respect for the art of photography.The enormous effort to present museum quality silver gelatin images begins with the proper film, using only Kodak film and printing on Ilford photographic paper. The production process of each image includes using only 100% acid free rag for the matting with UV glass completing the process. Limiting my production of the final printed image to an Edition of Five (5) allows the collector to possess a unique piece of art. One looks to past photographic artists who have laid the groundwork for future photographers. Edward Stieglitz, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams to name a few who have inspired me. Their influence is revealed in my work.
