A Little Background...

Back in 1980something I used to follow my friends around with my disc camera, and ride my bike to Kmart to drop off my film or pick up my prints. I would sneak through a hole in a fence and cut through the trailer park, for the big reward of prints in my hands.

In the 90’s I spent most of my days in darkrooms, both at Ithaca College, then as a printer in Portland, Maine. Hours spent in the dark, printing for others and then for myself, for the big reward of PRINTS in my hands (then in frames, on walls, in albums...).

My photo background has its roots in film and black & white printing. To this day I want my clients to understand the value of the printed image. A print in your hands carries more power and emotion than an image on a screen. These days you can have both, without sneaking through any fences.

Today my approach is to work from a place of honesty: Natural light whenever possible, documenting events as they unfold around me, posing and engaging when needed, laughing and having fun often, laying out clear expectations and not over manipulating images.
