Fine art photography relies most of all on seeing, but also on good technique and principles of design. I work with both medium format film and digital cameras and have been fortunate to learn from Freeman Patterson, Andre Gallant, Karin Rosenthal, and Alison Shaw, among other photographers.

I have been drawn most of all to close-in landscapes in Maine, and I return, again and again, in all seasons, to a lily pond. From a jon boat, I watch how life unfolds, absorbed by and into nature. If luck is with me, I glimpse moments of rightness – the unity that reveals itself in what seems common and in what I thought I knew. Within the camera’s viewfinder are metaphors – pictures that are both this and that, more than what they seem.

Anaïs Nin once wrote that the personal life, deeply lived, always expands into truths beyond itself. I seek images that make you feel, notice, linger. Consider them a remembrance – where I’ve been, where I’ve returned.
