about me
Thanks for viewing my website. My work stems back to the late 70's with my first 35mm as being a Mamaya Spotmatic but soon moved to the Canon line who's bodies I still maintain. B&W, Kodachrome 25 & 64, Ektachrome and the numerous ASA's of color film were my main shooting mediums along with general darkroom experience. My plan is to go back and use my 35mm film bodies for some specific projects yet to be determined. The digital age brought me to a Nikon 4600 and then I finally returned back to the SLR family of the Nikon D40. Once my digital work is organized my goal is to review and digitize the plethora of slides, prints and negatives of the decades past.
My views and sense of photography:
I believe that everyone is an artist in their own way. I know someone who is excellent in taking a piece of wood, turning it down and creating a pen, bowl, lampshade and even a hat. I know another who can pencil draw a subject so well it's worth displaying. When it comes to photographers we convey our personal outlook and view of the world in the form of photography. While I know many amateur photographers, the common thread we have is that we are all different in our views of subject, shooting technique and final display applications.
In general my visual ideas lean towards the use without flash encompassing natural light. While a telephoto lens is part of my armament I seem to live in a wide to standard focal length range forcing me to get close to the subject, filling in the viewfinder. Since the sun plays an important role of my exterior work I am cognizent to a subjects change from sunrise, mid day and the ever emissions of the waning sun as it moves toward dusk. It's the collision of two or more subjects and angles sometimes unrelated that attracts me to attempting a worthy shot. While alot of my work is of nature, it is also of man made or both in the same shot. I consider my techniques from the old school of photography, operating in a manual camera mode and using the "rule of thirds" where it was all about the camera and the work up front rather than the alterations of the darkroom back then or the computer programs of today.
The following pages I feel give a good representation of my work and reasons to pick up the camera in the first place. Special thanks to Danny Vanasse who pushed me to join the world of displaying my work. Also thank you Andy for your support and input.
