Light is everything in photography so I have chosen unfiltered light from Mother Nature to activate my emulsion. I use all manual photographic equipment and emulsion film when shooting nature and landscapes. My cameras consist of a 1954 Linhof Technika (4x5 format), a 1954 Rolleiflex (medium format), and a 1992 Nikon FM2 (35 mm format). I recently purchased the Nikon D200 digital camera and use this for event and sports photography. For the past 15 years my personal assignment has been to photograph the beauty of nature, my inspiration is the western landscape. Through the learning process of nature photography, I have acquired some good virtues-patience and persistence are two examples. Presently I am working on a unique product I call Solarography. These fine art Solarography pieces rise and set with the sun and appear to move with the clouds. They are designed to hang in windows and use the sun to illuminate them. Visit my Solarography gallery here to see examples of this dynamic product. |
