I have chosen to remain with the conventional medium of silver-based films and fiber-based papers because of their rich texture, extended tonal range and archival quality. Each photograph is individually darkroom printed by hand by me. Each photograph is a piece of art.

When something captures me visually, I carefully study what I am seeing. I explore all possibilities, looking for what I want my final photograph to ultimately say about what I see. I often employ elements of weather when photographing, such as fog, which causes forms to emerge from the mist with almost a spiritual quality.

I take great pleasure in searching for new photographs, be it on my block in Baltimore City or in exotic foreign places. During the past few years, I have had the opportunity to photograph in China, Vietnam, Bermuda, Nova Scotia and most recently in Venice, Italy and Paris, France. In between trips, I enjoy the beautiful mid-Atlantic seaboard for my creative inspiration.

My work has been purchased nationally and internationally. I have numerous commercial and private clients. My photographs are in the collections of The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Carey Limousine, Ethan Allen, and Crate & Barrel.

In April of 2006, Decor Magazine, The Art & Framing Business Resource featured an article on photography. A number of my photographs were represented in the article.

I live and work in Baltimore’s historic waterfront neighborhood of Canton. I am currently a member of the Maryland Federation of Art and Maryland Printmakers.
