 “You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”  ~ Ansel Adams

I have seen, read, listened, and loved, sometimes a little, other times a lot.

“I change during the course of a day. I wake and I’m one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I’m somebody else.” - Bob Dylan.

I wake, I sleep, I am changed...

Long time amateur, sometimes professional, very recent adopter of digital but lover of film, even newer to fine art. Amateur focus has been mostly landscape, cityscape, and architecture. I expect most of my work will be digital and in B&W though I do have significant amount of film technology in 35mm and Medium Format which I expect I will also use on occasion. 

Previous professional experience included studio catalogue large format work and 35mm social events. I am hoping to expand my creative efforts both in digital and fine art. Formal study in B&W composition, lighting, exposure, film processing and printing in 35mm, Medium Format, and 4x5 across a range of subjects. 

Having just spent time exploring natural light fine art photos with the mentorship of Michael Morris (https://www.instagram.com/michaelmorrisfineartphotos/), I plan to continue that exploration for a while.   I am going to focus first on athletic female forms. 

I have a significant amount of natural beauty in the form of picturesque landscapes, mountains, lakes, etc. very nearby and hope to work with models in those settings as well as a number of studios, formal and informal, that are available in the area. 

In addition to the array of natural beauty available near me, we occasionally get quite dramatic weather and this comes with dramatic skies which I strive to capture as they occur.
