I am a Seattle-based photographer and a native of the northwest. At the end of 2002, I returned from Manhattan where I lived and worked for seven years. Prior to that, I spent five years studying and working in France. My passion for discovering cultures and traditions is reflected in my photo-essays of artisans and craftspeople. These photographs are meant to honor those who perpetuate a craft through their skill, artistry and respect for tradition. Whether a violin maker, tailor, or honey maker, all share a common thread: the use of skill and dedication to create an exceptional result. Taken together, the person, process and final product tell a story that unfolds across generations. I shoot these essays in 35mm in both black & white and color.

In addition to my photo essays, I shoot pinhole-camera landscapes. This primitive format never ceases to amaze and delight me. While its rudimentary design can prove challenging, the images it yields reveal the dramatic which exists in the everyday. My pinhole photographs can be seen in the “Fine Art” section of this website. This section begins with various black & white images of trees taken with pinhole and Holga cameras. The color photographs in the subsequent pages of the “Fine Art” section were all created with a pinhole camera. This series was dedicated to documenting the incredible range of colors produced by sunsets on various ponds, bays and inlets on New York’s Long Island. All of these images were shot using 4” x 5” negative film. Giclée prints of these photographs are available in all sizes up to 20” x 24.” Please don’t hesitate to e-mail me if you’d like further information on my pinhole work.

Finally, I shoot privately commissioned black & white portraits of children and families. Please contact me for details.
