About

I make still life and landscape photographs, sometimes the work is idea-driven, other times it is call and response.

Science is a strong interest of mine, hence the series entitled Amateur Physics; work that surfs the edges of art and science.
Amateur Physics bridges the 19th and 21st centuries in terms of techniques and technology. Digital capture is used to generate
a negative to make a Van Dyke Brown Process sun print in my backyard. You may be skeptical, but it can be done in Oregon.
This printing process was invented by Sir John Herschel, three years after H. F. Talbot invented the Calotype. Herschel also
invented fixer. Amateur Physics is comprised of photographic homages to scientists and interesting scientific concepts--some are
literal in-camera photographs and others are imaginary creations--all in the end are photographs.

Other About Stuff:
My photographs are held in private collections, the Portland Art Museum and the Houston Fine Arts Museum.
