As an artist, I consider my primary task to be to observe and pay attention. The camera is my tool and my intersection with the world.

I fell in love with photography through the magic of film, and so I have dedicated my work to analog methods, especially medium and large formats. I am constantly amazed at its range, and unique capacity for re-presenting the world to us.

Many of my pictures I make using the tri-color method, which reveals aspects of time, light and radiation that we fail to perceive in our day to day experience. Tri-color is the original way to make a color picture. Three exposures are made onto black and white film through a red, green and finally a blue filter. These three negatives are then assembled together to create a color picture. It is the truest way to represent the world in color - recording light wavelengths like our own eyes receive them.
