I have been involved in photography for over 30 years. I grew up in a time when photography was a science that demanded an in depth understanding of the relationship between light, shutter speed, and their resulting harmony on the exposed film. I spent many hours in a darkroom trying to bring about results that expressed a moment of time in a way that brought enjoyment to the viewer.
I've worked with film up to 4X5 field camera's but have embraced the full frame digital world and it's methods. Even though technology has changed the way my darkroom looks, the commitment to challenge and inspire people who look at my work still remains paramount.
I use only carbon pigment to archive black and white prints that will last 200 -300 years.
Using carbon produces better looking black and white prints than I ever produced in a film darkroom. The results are grainless, ultra clear gallery photographs, that will be here for generations and display a boldness in tonal range that will enhance the look of any room. These photographs continue to exceed the expectations of discerning Collectors, Fine Art galleries. and Exhibit Curators.
My work has been represented by fine galleries in Kansas City, Santa Fe, and Topeka. I currently keep an ongoing exclusive representation at After Image Gallery in Dallas; considered by many to be the penicale gallery for Fine Art photography. The camera Manufacturer Canon has awarded my photography done in the National Park System and has licensed my work for their purpose. Some of my work is on permanent display in the "Art of Emprise Collection", A bank owed accumulation of investment art that is one of the finest corporate owned collections in the country.
Each photograph is signed on the front and instead of "limited edition" numbering I write A/P (artist printed) on the left corner. By doing all aspects of the photograph myself from image capture , to final printing is the only way I can insure the final product lives up to the exacting quality standards my customers have come to expect. I also sign and record the date of the printing on the back .
