About the Work:
The photographs on this web site are processed and printed individually in a traditional wet darkroom. 
There is no digital work done with these images. The only digital work was done during scanning for 
production of this web site. I attempted to match the color of the prints as best I could to the actual prints, 
there is no increase in contrast, levels, etc. done in Photoshop. All that work is done in the darkroom.
I work with the traditional methods of photographic printing, and although I recognize the use and
capabilities of digital, it is not for me. I enjoy the hands-on qualities of working with chemicals and papers. 

All the work shown was produced with a 4" x 5" or an 8" x 10" view camera. Soon to be added will be work
produced with an 11" x 14" camera. I use large format cameras because they allow me to slow down and 
focus on the individual aesthetic qualities of each image. The negatives are developed with a pyro staining
developer. My prints are archivally processed, toned, and washed on a double-weight, fiber-based, silver 
gelatin paper. I use a selenium toner for it's archival qualities and slight deepening of the blacks.

The subject matter in which I photograph is by no means unique or original. It is what catches my attention
and interests me. I view every photograph as a study of the elements that create that interest. Whether it's a
scene in front of me, a tight detail of textures, or a botanical study, it's all an attempt to capture and translate
what caught my attention in the means of composition, shape, form, tone, and light in the prints as a final
image. Hopefully I can convey some of those same feelings I had at the moment of making the photograph
to others.
