"Our job is to record, each in his own way, this world of light and shadow and time that will never come again exactly as it is today"
—Edward Abbey 1927-1989

While my earlier landscapes were taken in and around the California coast where I live, I prefer traveling abroad to remote places that transcend geography, where time stands still, and I can make an emotional connection.

My current work is captured mostly at night.  There is something magically seductive about the night.  With its inherent unpredictability, night photography can be liberating — things move, atmosphere changes, light comes from multiple directions and shadows create fantasies in space and time.  Here, I am not interested in the literal interpretation, but seek to reveal the deeper mysteries found within.

I am a traditional black and white photographer using film and produce my images in my own darkroom.  I process my film, and all of my archival gelatin silver prints are selenium toned.
