My journey as a photographer began in 1972. Watching my first print materialize under the safe light of the darkroom hooked me for life. That fascination continues for me. From the camera to the printed page, there is magic in the process. This passion has led me through several manifestations as a photographer. Each specialty has built upon the lessons learned from previous pursuits.
My images represent moments in time when I am quiet enough to allow the world in through my lens. A magical combination of light and emotion exists all around us at all times. We have only to experience it, and it is through a relaxed, almost dreamlike, fixation upon the scene before us that we find something new in the world.
A Brief Timeline:
My training as an artist began in my mother’s art studio at a young age. I learned the basics of framing and composition by looking at the work of others. I was taught the mechanics and practice of photography on the job at the Denver Post from 1987 to 1992 as a lab technician and photographer. From 1992 through 1995, I worked as a freelance photojournalist, public relations and event photographer. I practiced commercial and architectural photography from 1995 to 2006 in Telluride, Colorado shooting both traditionally and digitally. I currently live in Sarasota, Florida and exclusively shoot fine art--a much needed return to my original passion for the medium.
