This website includes a representative image selection of what I've been able to do over a very long period of time.

I was born in 1945, in Monterey, CA, and live in Santa Fe, NM, have a history degree, and studied photography at Rochester Institute of Photography. I've been represented by major photography galleries, published extremely widely, been featured in the LA Times, Camera Arts magazine, and the Pasadena PBS station. Some of my prints are in the Santa Barbara Musuem of Art. You may have seen my book Descanso, images of a beautiful botanical garden published in 2006 by Balcony Press, los Angeles, CA.

Most of these panoramas were shot using film with my 6 x 17 cameras beginning in 1989. I made very good use of the detachable viewfinders to test images visually through the glass probably dozens of times before setting a tripod to expose film. Now I shoot digitally, but the process of seeing is essentially the same no matter the subject matter.

In the field I'm responding mainly to light and its luminosity, how it shapes the subject, as well as the colors, textures, patterns, contrasts, stories, and forms which combine to give an image uniqueness. I'm probably more of an observer than a manipulator, but pulling elements out of "nothing" and being able to combine them into something more than what seems to be there in the first place is actually very creative.

The “scripted spaces” images are taken from the over 60 golf courses i’ve photographed around the world, all on assignments. The “dancing water” images are of the same surface of a modest lake in upstate N.Y. over a month’s time. The “Life of plants” images are formal portraits of living shrubs and trees in my garden.
