Photography provides me with a vehicle for capturing
the unique character of our surroundings. I have had a
life-long passion for photography that began as I grew
up in Wisconsin. The opportunity to take photography
classes in high school led me to build a darkroom in my
basement so I could process and print my own photos.
My work in photography continued in college where I
majored in graphic arts and continued to refine my
photography skills. Following college, I taught
photography at the high school level and found great
satisfaction in helping others discover photography as
a creative outlet.
While in college, I had the privilege to go on a photo
shoot with Ansel Adams who came to campus as a
guest lecturer. Spending a day with Adams in the field
had a significant impact on both my interest in
photography and the approach that I have taken in my
own work every since. While the techniques he
demonstrated were helpful, what I learned most from
him was patience. The patience he demonstrated as he
made certain every condition was just right to produce
the best possible photograph is an attribute that I have
tried to emulate in my own work.
A majority of my work captures the architectural
character of places where people live and work
although I am always looking for scenes that are
different and interesting. As I now live in Colorado,
some of my most recent work also includes landscape
photos. Over the past few years, I have expanded the
scope of my work and now print, mat and frame my
photographs for sale to those who see value in my
work.
