About me
When I held an SLR for the first time at the age of 13 and smelled the wonderful aroma of lens cleaning solution, I was mesmerized by the mechanics of the camera and the beauty it could capture. Ever since those early magical times with a Minolta XG-1, I have had a desire to make images. Since then, I have shot underwater, on mountain summits, political events, city streets, dining rooms, law firms and more. Lately, I have found myself drawn to older film cameras and classic formats like 4x5, 6x7, and the square 6x6. Also, I have found that a box made of foam core and black tape or a 1950's Speed Graphic with a pinhole stuck on the front of it can yield wonderful images.

My pinhole photography was recently included in an international exhibition at the André Malraux Cultural Centre, Le Bourget, France. Other photographs are published in regional magazines like Minnesota Law & Politics, Lake Home Living, and Web sites including political campaigns, musicians, law firms, retail stores and corporations.

Some of my finished images are from digital captures, some are from film that has been scanned and printed. Others, I print in a darkroom. There is such a unique magic in a wet darkroom print and I continue to make silver gelatin prints.
