The award winning images in this gallery were all taken in the magnificent deserts of Southern California. All the images of the interiors and exteriors of abandoned structures are as you see them. No props were added, and no artificial lighting was used. All images were captured in different formats on Fuji professional film. They are not digital. I do all of my own printing from my negatives, and no digital processes of any kind are used at any time during the reproduction of these images. The images are printed in signed and numbered limited editions of 25 on Kodak Ultra and Supra Endura color print papers, and, if properly cared for, will last upwards of 100 years. I have more information on my site, and if you google my name you will pull up a link to my site. If you have questions or wish to comment, even critically, please use the contact link to contact me. Or you may contact me by googleing my name which will pull up a link to my site which has contact information. Thank you for viewing my work, and I hope you enjoyed it.

This is my newest project. These pictures were shot in and around downtown Los Angeles, obviously at night. When I first conceived this project, I didn't know if there would be enough light, but Los Angeles at night provided a riot of light from a cacophony of sources. Direct light, reflected light, ambient light, and always the dark seeking to recapture the little islands of illumination created in the night.
These images are printed in limited and signed editions of 25 on Oriental cold tone fiber paper, and will last indefinately. I do all of my own printing from my own negatives, and no digital processes are used at any time while printing these images. If you have any questions or wish to comment, even critically, please contact me through Artmajeur, or google my name which will pull up a link to my site, and you may contact me through my site.

The award winning pictures in this gallery are all macro abstracts shot on film, and enlarged in the darkroom. The actual size of the images varies from approximately 1/2 to 1 inch in size. These are pictures of actual objects, they are not digital constructs or paintings. I do all of my own printing from my original negatives, and no enhancement or digital processes of any kind have been used during the reproduction of these images. They are printed on Kodak Ultra and Supra Endura color print papers in signed and numbered limited editions of 25, and, if properly cared for, will last upwards of 100 years.

Biography
I see a still photograph as a way of suspending time. Not as a time machine per se, although photographs are invaluable as a means of preservation.When I say I use a photograph to suspend time I mean that a still photograph gives one the means to stop and immerse oneself in the physical and emotional responses that the image provokes. I find that the images I capture always speak to me on different levels, and the fact that they are still images provides me with the luxury to take the time necessary to let the emotions of curiosity, wonder, sadness, joy, and the other responses my pictures evoke, wash over me. I hope you enjoy my work, and that you find it provocative.
My work has been exhibited in the Riverside Art Museum, the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, the Santa Fe Art Colony, the Palos Verdes Center for the Arts, and in numerous gallery shows and exhibits. In 2004 and 2005 I was awarded first place for fine art photography by the Milliard Sheets Gallery for their annual juried new photography competition. My work has been featured in Conde Nast Publications, and is in private collections throughout the United States and Europe If you wish to comment, even critically, please do so by leaving a message on this site, or you may google my name which will pull up the link to my site, and you can communicate with me that way.
