If you spend any time on this website you will see that I am primarily drawn to the landscape. It is what I really enjoy and what really drives my photography. But it is also good to experiment a bit and enjoy other aspects and subjects of photography. This is where I share the best of those explorations. Enjoy!
PROJECTS
This is a collection of longer form projects of things that have interested me over the years. The Amusement Park project was published in a prestigious photography journal called “Lenswork” and is one of my photographic highlights. The King Frost project is from an annua; halloween parade in my hometown. And Battlefield Lands and Hamburg, Fifty Years Later are both in the beginning stages and will take time to complete.
STORIES
These are short, multi-image, visual stories that convey an event or idea. These stories are somewhere in between single images and much larger collections of related images. They are usually between four and nine images and it gives me a chance to publish shorter ideas more quickly. They also represent more fun with the camera!
LEFT BEHIND
This is a theme and set of related projects that I have been photographing for more than twenty years. It is the idea of things we leave behind, abandon, or disregard. It is simultaneously exciting to witness and explore these placxes, but also a little sad. The theme seems to be best expressed in moody black & white images.
MY VISUAL JOURNAL
This is where I really explore and have a little fun with the camera. These are single images I make as we move through life. Some are funny, some are just interesting. There is no theme, no project, just observations with the camera over time. This is a really fun way for me to stay engaged with photography when I am not making large projects.
MY EARLY WORK
I thought it would be fun to show some of my early work, both digital and film, as a way of seeing my growth as a photographer. My early digital work dates back to 2001 when I bought my first digital camera. And my early film work dates back to high school in the late 1970’s! Some of it makes me cringe, but some of it shows promise and hints at the themes I enjoy making images of.
