Your Bio

I started out exposing Tri-X and Kodachromes in the early 1970s, and have been fooling around with photography ever since.

I soon abandoned Tri-X because the darkroom chemicals turned my finger tips chain-smoker-brown, and - for some odd reason - my black and white prints never looked as good as those by Ansel Adams. Besides that, I had fallen in love with color.

The focus of most of my work has been landscapes and details of the natural world, but I am also interested in exploring architectural, cultural, and industrial environments.

Presently I'm living in southwest Missouri, where I was "born and raised" - but I have also lived in Wenatchee, Washington; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Hyde Park, New York. Many of my photos were taken while traveling by bicycle, car, canoe, or on foot in the western United States, Canada, and Europe.

TECHNICAL - Up until April of 2010, my work has been all film - mostly Ektachrome and Fujichrome - made with 35mm Pentax equipment. I scan the transparencies with a film scanner, then post-process with Photoshop on a Mac. In May of 2010, I uploaded my first digital photos taken with my new Pentax K-x dSLR - the "Utah 2010" gallery in my Travel category. I will continue to add scans of some of my older film work as time allows.
