Artist’s Statement

Working with medium and large format film cameras, I photograph subjects that evoke an emotional response in me. I strive to print the image the way it "felt" at the moment it was photographed rather than trying to replicate the way it appeared at that moment. My images are a combination of simplicity and emotional response. My photographs illustrate how I think and feel about the subjects that spark my curiosity. These images sing in a voice of highlights which rise from the depths of the shadows. How they sound to you may be completely different from how they sound to me. Whether or not we hear the same "music" is irrelevant since each individual ear has his, or her, own interpretation.

 

Why Buy Fine Art Photography?

Fortunately for those of us who appreciate fine art photography, photography is the affordable fine art.  Most other types of fine art are very expensive, with works not uncommonly selling for many thousands of dollars.  That puts art collecting out of reach for many of us.  But with prices more typically in the hundreds, rather than the thousands, of dollars for photographic art, it is art that we can afford, and its value will continue to grow.  Not only that, but fine art photography is exquisitely beautiful to own and display.  With the multitude of black and white prints available, and subject matter ranging from figurative work to landscapes to documentary, there is photographic art for every taste.  Discover the beauty and joy of collecting fine art photography, you will be glad that you did.
