I have been drawn to photography both as an artistic endeavor and as a craft. My interest was sparked in my teens when I was given a small Kodak contact printing set. I began developing and printing 35 mm film and fell in love with the process.

I built my first darkroom and saved for my first camera, a manual focus Pentax Spotmatic with one 50mm lens and a simple light meter. That camera traveled with me as a young man through Greece, Turkey and Italy.

Today, my darkroom is quite different from where it began in my youth. I now use large format film because of the contemplative approach it requires and the exquisite detail that I can obtain. I scan and print digitally to produce a distinctive hybrid, bridging old and new. I also do pure digital work.

My wife Gleda and I live in a small town in the upper Hudson Valley. We are both retired and spend our time tending the gardens and chickens on our property and traveling to places that appeal to my photographic sensibility. I am particularly moved by the open landscapes of the West and strive to capture their compelling spirit through my lens. I have shown my photos both on the east and west coasts.

I print and matte my photographs so the viewer can sense the commitment with which each image is made. I invite you to view my work and hope you enjoy it as much as I do making it.
