I have done many varied things in this life, but one of the things I have long enjoyed is being in nature. And so, I set out 15 years ago to explore and record with my cameras. I spend a lot of time in the mountains and deserts of the West. I enjoy looking, seeing, experiencing, capturing and experimenting. I shoot Color at times when I want to record exactly what I see and Black & White when surreal or unusual elements appeal to me. I love developing the Black & White negatives to my preference and then seeing what I can obtain in my print. I shoot mainly with a 4x5 Deardorff view camera, though at other times I use a Hasselblad. I hope you will visit my sight as I have many diverse images there.
I am 26 and I haven't used my eyes. I haven't seen things my eyes should have seen. But with every single day I can feel a slight movement of my eyelids. I am 26 and I haven't seen my thoughts. I had thoughts I should have seen and there are thoughts that should be seen. But with every single day I add one piece to the huge puzzle. I am 26 and I haven't used my hands. But this important tool of my body will help seeing things and seeing thoughts.
