SNAP! 2023
SNAP! 2023 This is the second stanza in a poem for the city. Stored safely in a solander box are five 13.3″ x 20″ photographs. Each printed on archival Canson Rag, and mounted on a 13.3″ x 20″ aluminium panel. Also in the box are a pair of cloth gloves for handling the prints and […]
This Line
This Line The first large images I ever printed were of water and sky. The horizon. That was about twenty years ago. I’ve been shooting any place where water meets sky for about two decades.

Sometimes I may see something while riding the bus, bike or driving the car–but I rarely stop to take […]
Shrouded
Shrouded has been formulating for a long time. Most of the process has been endless thinking. I’m good at the long think. I enjoy it. These images are the first step in taking the concept out of my head. Usually when this process happens and I move from thinking to making there’s a good possibility […]
