Technical: All images are reproductions of gelatin silver prints, individually made in my darkroom. Most are 8x10 contact prints, while some are 8x10 enlargements from 6x7 and 4x5 negatives. 

​

Artist Statement: My photographs are created solely for visual impact, dominated by form and tone, with no concern for figurative or social motivations. Working in black and white allows for a certain distancing from reality, which is essential to my images. Interesting lines and bold contrast are the two necessary components of any photograph I make. With this approach, I am able to find appeal in a variety of subjects, but I primarily focus on close-up abstractions and urban landscapes. I work with large format film and a view camera, in a well-established tradition of the 20th century. An image does not become a photograph until it is a print, and I have devoted a great deal of time to printmaking, working exclusively in the traditional gelatin silver process.
