I have been working as a photographer since 1981. I was attracted to photography by the desire to share with others the beautiful shapes, textures and lighting that I found around me. My feeling is, that if people can see how wonderful the world can be, that they may try to take a little better care of her.
Diane and I take our responsibility toward our world very seriously. We try to live as simply as possible. We avoid packaged food as much as possible, preferring to get locally grown fresh produce at farmer's markets and other locally based markets.

About the photography

I have been shooting negatives with a medium format Rolleiflex SL66 camera equiped with fine Zeiss lenses. I enlarge the images myself in the darkroom, then my wife and I mount, mat and frame the finished photographs. We have been selling our photographs at art fairs and galleries since 1984.

A very nice option for a piece of art work to hang in a large space is one of our triptychs. These consist of a series of three photographs aligned side by side giving a panoramic landscape view. We also have a few images made up of 4 or 5 separate photographs. Most of the triptychs are photographed with a medium format Rolleiflex SL66 camera mounted on a tripod. The camera is panned across the scene producing a series of three or more photographs. The photographs are printed by Paul in the darkroom so that the image flows from one frame to the next. These are then matted and framed in separate frames. This process allows you to have a large photograph with the feeling of a wide vista without the added expense of working with oversized materials. The photographs are generally hung side by side with a small space between the frames giving them the feeling of looking out a window. Many can also be successfully be hung around a corner, which increases the feeling of depth. We hope you will consider our work for your decorating needs.
