Photography Artist

 

 

Born in 1958 and raised in the Pacific Northwest of the United States of America. I started out in Oregon, staying just long enough to graduate from  Franklin High School in 1976. Within a month I had moved to Seattle, Washington, where I am to this day.

My interest in photography was roused when I started backpacking in 1986. Touring through the incredible scenery of the Cascade and Olympic Mountain Ranges I wanted to have something to show of it. Thus came my photographs.

In March of 1988 the Photographic Center Northwest became my source of formal instruction when I signed up for a certificate program in "Fine Art Photography". The program was completed with a thesis show at the PCNW in June of 1999.

My time is now divided between my growing portraiture business and the creation and marketing of my "fine art" color and black and white landscape and nature prints.   Fate has been kind and in the years Ive been offering my work it has spread itself around the world. My hope is now to spend the rest of my life in this happy and challenging endeavor.

When I am not working on the photography I spend my time in the recording studio that I keep. I have played piano/keyboards since the age of nine and very much enjoy making my own recordings and playing with others.

And finally, a few influences: Ansel Adams, Christopher Burkett, Edwin Church, Theodore Dreiser, Claude Debussy, Phil Spector, Ralph Hattersley, Jesus of Nazareth.

Artist's Statement

At their simplest I believe that my photographs are really a public dialogue between myself and my God. That dialogue has often been a source of great joy and is the core reason my photos exist. As to exactly what is conveyed in that dialogue I must beg your indulgence as I can only describe it as a sense of hope for a time when all of life's most difficult questions are answered. (Heaven?)
