About

 

I’m a photographer and printmaker working with black-and-white film and chemical processes — the original means of photographic expression. I like using 20th century film cameras; they are elegantly simple artifacts of 20th century industrial design.

My prints have appeared in Shutterbug and in Tokyo-based Natural Glow (which, like many other Japanese photo magazines, is no longer in print)

Today, I’m active in the Handmade Photo Group at Photoworks in Glen Echo, Maryland where I specialize in platinum-palladium printing. I’m in a current group exhibition there:
