I have been extremely fortunate to have witnessed the appreciation of photography as a fine art medium develop since the mid-1970’s. In my duel capacity as a photographer and a curator I have been able to work with many artists that I admire and respect, each having made an influence on me in different ways. I have moved from analog to digital photography appreciating the differences in each process. With the same regard I have witnessed styles and trends change from decade to decade. I believe my photographs represent singular observations of the world as I personally experience it.
