The golden years are not.BIOMost of my work is based on my photographs
of the trees, the water, the rocks, the flowers,
the vistas of the sky and earth.

Nature reveals herself in an instant and then very
quickly hides what she has just shown you.

The leaves shimmer with light.
The water ripples endlessly.
The reflections vary with the wind.
The clouds move and disappear.


The photographs that I find in the city are entirely different.
They are of static and rigid graphic shapes.
And unlike nature, the images can be revisited.
Through the use of intense color, a sign, a window, even a
fireplug, can become an interesting and emotional print.



Starting with an original 35mm chrome or negative, taken with my old Canon F1, I scan my images into an iMac computer and manipulate them and layer multiple images using Adobe Photoshop, then digitally print them on the Epson 2000P (which uses archival inks) on archival
paper or acid free watercolor paper.

With inkjet printing, especially on watercolor paper, the pigmented inks pool and bleed producing a graininess that simulates the optical mixture of the Neo-Impressionism painting style of the 19th century (pointillism). This effect gives photographs a look that is similar to a lithograph or etching or seriagraph or painting.
