My printed portfolio has in the last two or three years suffered greatly due to physical damage, loss, theft etc. Also I have not had a darkroom for the last couple of years due to a move and some other factors. That should be changing soon, at which time individually made, archival, mounted prints will be available. And, as I said, I will be updating the artwork with better quality prints, replacing some I don't have on hand now as well as printing some of the stacks of negatives I have not as yet printed.
I bought my first serious camera over 20 years ago, and have been honing my craft ever since. I work primarily in 4X5 inch format, although I do use some 2&1/4 inch square as well as 35mm formats. My primary camera is hand made (by me) from a Bender kit. It is simple though very capable. I prefer Schneider optics, and have one Caltar lens. As funds allow I add needed glass and am always on the lookout for good used optics. However, although it's obvious that I'm not starving, spare change is a scarce commodity.
I hope you like what you see and I would like to hear your input (but please be gentile). This site is intentionally kept simple so that the pages will load quickly with any browser and modem. Later I may add some Java and more advanced HTML and graphics but there are still a lot of old browsers and 14.4 modems out there.
By the way, that's my ugly mug on rope in the photo (Photo courtesy of Tom Moss).
