About

After 50+ years of concentrating on the art of black & white photography, I am still amazed at the depth, richness and beauty, which can be achieved within 10 shades of gray. While my work has moved through various stages & venues, I find I’ve returned to “straight” photographic techniques. My photographs tend to focus on themes that show the effects of time within our environment. Not as a comment on our place in time, but as a record of the unalterable consequences of time; whether it’s nature or man-made, everything must, and does, give way to it. I treat each scene not as a documentary, but as a portrait, with the resulting photograph printed as accurately and faithfully as possible.

Most of my art/time/work is mainly only black & white film, but I have been known to use color film as well. I shoot 35mm, medium format and large format film cameras, with or without a lens (pinhole camera). Using digital cameras is not a foreign genre, but are used less than film cameras.

I print all my black & white photographs on silver gelatin fiber based photographic paper with archival processing and selenium toning and are 11 x 14. My prints have been shown in numerous gallery (solo & group) shows, published in both book & magazine formats, and bought by many collectors.

Taught B&W Film/Darkroom and Digital adult education photography classes at the Edina Art Center for nearly 25 years; a proud member of the League of Upper Midwest Pinholers, and f295.

I also survived a traumatic brain injury (10/2003). What’s your superpower?
