I want people to feel that they know a subject better after seeing my photographs.

Welcome to my web page.   I am delighted to be able to share my images with you.

These works are best viewed as matted, framed prints, some as large as (9” X 13”).   They are not really intended to be viewed as small images on the computer screen. Pricing and framing information is provided.

These photographs are not accidents.   They are outgrowths of my photographic philosophy, a philosophy that has evolved over years of study and practice.   Some of the key elements of my philosophy can be summarized as follows:

· A camera licenses one to observe and delight in the world.   Photography slows down my life and allows me to take time to “smell the roses.”   The process of photography is more important than the outcome.   (On a personal note, this is why I use manual cameras: they slow me down so that I can see.)
· Photographs succeed for one reason. Because the photograph was well seen.
· Ruthlessly simplify and clarify. Poor images mostly result from two common causes:   uncertainty of intent and including too much material.
· The difference between a good photograph and a great photograph is measured in centimeters.
· Images should enable viewers to see the world in a way they may have overlooked.

I would love to hear from you.   Please feel free to contact me.

If you would like me to send you an email when I add images, just add yourself to my update list.

Enjoy –
