My path toward becoming a photographer and artist began in ernest after spending a tranquil eighteen years living in Ithaca, New York, Since that time I've been lucky enough to be able to see and live in many different and mostly exciting environments.
Studies often provided opportunities to discover new communities: bringing me to Vermont, Paris, Philadelphia and Rome. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from the University of Vermont and then a Master of Fine Arts degree from Tyler School of Art in Photography where I also devoted considerable time to Printmaking.
This is a series of photographs made with hand made pinhole cameras. These images are from two different large scale cameras in which I use paper negatives of 20 x 24" and 10 x 24" size. Pinhole work has fascinated me for some fifteen years. The quality, clearly, is not so finely detailed as it is with professional 35 mm cameras but I feel the pinhole look--which comes from long exposures of a minute or more as well as the strange way in which space is often depicted--gives a powerful quality to the images.
