"... The
highest duty of the artist is to remain true to himself."
-- John F. Kennedy
Photography provides me an
expressive channel that transcends language. Creating
natural images fulfills a core need to share my creative
response to what I see in each subject. I strive to engage
the emotions evoked by the natural realm, especially the
mystery or magical essence of light-play in the world. My
pictures emerge through imagination and experience with the
interaction between light and subject supported by a keen
interest in natural history.
I work in natural light using 35MM and 4x5 color
transparency film scanned at high resolution, and high
resolution digital cameras to match the natural image for
direct color printing. Using archival giclée printing
techniques and materials, I create luminous prints with full
color and tonal depth on acid free, cotton fiber paper.
Using the print as a record of growth and a means of
sharing, I pursue greater connection with my medium and how
light graces each subject. The advent of digital print
making enables a level of control and quality long exclusive
to black and white darkroom prints. I find digital giclée
color prints increasingly satisfying with truly archival
quality, luminescence, accurate color quality, and full
tonal depth. Fulfilling my goal of sharing the results of
photographic imagery remains my 30 year passion through fine
prints, publishing and computer-based imagery.
