These portraits represent my attempt to find the subtle nuances of the human communication. We read faces and exchange information through this interaction. We try to find an inner glimpse of the person through their face. As a photographer, I try to create an expressive form, focusing attention and drawing us closer. Portraits give us the opportunity to study and reflect on what is going on inside--our inner life.

The galleries on this page represent photographic work from 2008 to present. I am currently presenting my work in a joint show during the month of June at the Center for Art and Education in Van Buren, Arkansas.
I started in photography very early with my father. He was a chemist who loved the processes in the wet darkroom, and I remember standing on a box, watching the image emerge in the developer tray under the dim safe-light. I continued photographing, built my own darkroom, and worked with Zone System techniques for many years.
Digital technology has brought me back to photography, back to making images. I will always value my experience with film and the darkroom processes, but I could not go back. I put in enough time to realize that I need to put in even more time to really learn the craft of producing a photographic print. The digital darkroom has relieved me of this burden and has given me the ability to explore images in this new medium. It has been a learning process as well, but one that was informed by my earlier work with film. The digital cameras that I use now have technically surpassed the best cameras I used in the past.
