Some artists create their work to convey a message. The art is a message to the world around them. Others create their art for commercial goals and calibrate their creations to appeal to their clients. I honor and respect both of these goals.

A fascination with history, engineering, and mechanical devices has joined with art in photography. I’m not satisfied with just the visual end product but also the whole process. Be it lens design, the latest in vibration reducing lenses, to the tactile joy in using a 110 year-old view camera (albeit with a lens from the mid-20th century), the whole act of photography has been a great pastime. Yes, digital is better than film for most purposes and I DO shoot a lot of digital. I’ve gone back to film for both art and hobbyist reasons.

I’ve carried a camera and take pictures of subjects I find interesting be it pure visual and design or subject. In short – I shoot what I want to see in pictures!

Although I do not shoot pictures to pay for my supper, I’m open to anybody who wants photos or has need of a shoot! Please contact me on linked in if you want to model or need photos taken.

There are a few projects I'm particularly focused on achieving this year using both film and digital:
- Blacklight paint images using a modern digital camera (nudes aside from paint)
- Painting with light (implied nude / nude)
- In-camera effects with double-exposure and projected patterns using large-format film
- Art nudes with substantial tattoos and edge lighting
