I started writing when I was ten years old, and started my journey into photography in 1977. By 1980 I was shooting 4x5 film and documenting farms, churches, old buildings, and landscapes.

The best of that work was exhibited at the Chrysler Museum in 1983. That encouraged me to do this professionally, and I shot for local magazines, and ran two successful portrait and wedding studios until 2010. After I closed them down I still worked from home for a few years.

Now I’m semi-retired and have been working on this particular project since 2018. Most of the work is shot digitally but, whenever the subject is appropriate, I love to approach it using medium format black and white film.

And I still love to write. In a sense, I’ve come full circle.

T.S. Eliot wrote in “Little Gidding”

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”

That’s where I am on this journey, and I would love for you to travel with me.
