Good day.......
I am glad you stopped by for a view of my Photography and do hope you enjoy it. I have been interested in Photography since age 8 when
I bought my first camera. I have gone through several since then but the vast majority of my work to include most you see here is on traditional 35mm slide.
I have used digital cameras for a small portion of my work and have been using computer programs ( Photoshop ) to rework some into a
completely different type of work, though these are easily recognize from my traditional work. I strive to keep my work on par with that
of most artiststic photographers. I enjoy using the camera to portray what I am thinking and feeling as I look through the lens.
I have posted here a small portion of my work and as I digitize more I will post it. I again have most of my work on film so I use a Nikon 5000 ED
film scanner then post it online. I also print my work using a Epson 2200 Giclee printer and use only high quality media
( mostly Epson Smooth Fine Art paper ) to print my unlimited edition series works.
I am very open to all types of art and do not in any way think that because my work is mostly film that the digital work from either a digital camera
or that composed on a computer is in any way less of an art form. I view art to be in the eye of the maker as well as the beholder.
I use traditional means to capture my work for two reasons. First it is more tangible then a file on a computer.
A slide in a sealed plastic folder is much less susceptible to damage and ruin then a computer file on a hard drive. I also believe that
the digital cameras still do not capture, to my liking anyway, the feel and color of the of traditional photographic media.
Maybe I have used film for so long it is just what I like.
I will also start to post works I have created with everything from graphite pencil drawings to mixed media, paints, mosaics
sculptures, wood and every possible media available to mankind. I have as of late been experimenting with all types of
media and will be perusing to gain technical proficiency and artistic license to be able to voice my
emotions through the new works I create. I will still hold fast to Photography as I still greatly enjoy it yet need to
expand my portfolio of art to include other media. I have received very god feedback to include several
purchases of this type of work and do enjoy expanding my artistic range.
If you are interested in my work we can talk about augmenting your gallery's artists or be part of an up coming show. I have been very
fortunate to have been chosen for many shows both solo and mixed and do want to continue to seek out new venues to exhibit my work.

Small Print......I also must admit I am not the best web developer in the world but do like to keep control of my site. I apologize for the lack of flash animation,
dropdown menus, videos, sign up sheets, age verification forms, or advertisements on my site. I post small size files of my work to allow curators and gallery directors
the ability to analyze my skills and my eye in an artistic sense. I created this site solely with them in mind. I try to keep the site fast and not get bogged down.
