Fifty years of creative photography.
Welcome to my vision
I am on a lifelong journey of creative photography.
As a former student of Minor White, himself a student of Ansel Adams, I constantly seek images that are thought provoking and invite prolonged exploration.
Presented for your enjoyment!
Images that invite imagination
My personal goal is to go beyond the typical -- you won't find many "conventional" shots here; I leave that to other fine photographers of which there are many. I prefer images that encourage entry and personalization, evoke emotions and allow the viewer to imagine stories and characters within. I am particularly drawn to Images that suggest a hidden presence, one that your own mind fills in.
My Evolution
My work has evolved over the decades, with a constant goal of developing and refining my voice. If you find anything of interest, I welcome feedback and look forward to sharing with you.

Actual or virtual. Does it really matter?
This collection is unapologetically ersatz; it's the product of melding and morphing the real into something else.

We live in a noisy, rushed time.
This collection of images is the polar opposite -- slow-burn.
If you're in a hurry, come back later.

Artifice is defined as "the clever use of tricks and devices."
The images in this collection are the result of a variety of unconventional methods and tools. They all start as original photos.

Texture is the background of our visual landscape. Easy to ignore, wonderful to explore.

There is visual beauty all around us. In this collection I explore images that are both easy to see and easy to miss.
Rhythm and Discord

Beauty of the Ordinary
Rhythm is easy to find -- man-made, natural, happenstance. When balanced against discord, the dance begins.

The photographer is a hunter, a selector and a conduit. These images are from a broad time-frame, sharing my early evolution in image creation.
