Description
I have been using a camera for almost fifty years and, until 1995, have been essentially self-taught. In that year, wishing to become more proficient in documentary photography, I enrolled in some courses at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and instead became increasingly drawn into photography as an expressive medium. I wish to gratefully acknowledge here the assistance and encouragement of all my mentors thus far, in alphabetical order: Bruce Barnbaum, Regina DeLuise, Nancy E. Green, Don Kirby, Kim Kirkpatrick, Anne Larsen, Frank Lavelle, Bates Littlehales, Olive Rosen, Charles Rumph, Fred Schreiber, John Sexton, Barbara Southworth and Craig Stevens.
While not technically having studied photography under the following, I have also benefited from the advice or commentary of A.D. Coleman, Tillman Crane, Jennifer Dorsey, Jon Lentz, Susette Newberry, Hugh Phibbs, and Philip and Ina Trager. My shortcomings are no reflection on the remarkable abilities of all these individuals, but are entirely of my own making. Having said this, I also believe there is much to be gained personally by using one's own compass in finding one's own way - that is what I seek to do in my photography and in a way, that is what this web site is all about.
All of the images presented on this web site have been made with small or medium format cameras, particularly the Canon EOS 1N or the Mamiya 645 AF camera, mounted on a Bogen 3221 tripod. The mirror lockup feature of these cameras, a shutter release cable, and the tripod are frequently used in order to create the negatives I seek.
