A native of Ohio and an Oregonian since 1976, I discovered what photography was really about the first time I looked through the ground glass on an old 4x5 press camera in 1985, and ever since I've enjoyed a romance with the iconic, the serene, and the patina of things past their prime. For the past couple of decades I've been chronicling the disappearing traces of Oregon’s bygone days, photographing at first with large-format film cameras and printing in the traditional platinum process. These days I also photograph with digital cameras and make archival pigment inkjet prints, and for a time had fun with manipulating Polaroid SX-70 prints. My newest diversion is a pinhole camera I made from a cigar box and a 5x7 film back. The prints shown on this site are available for purchase by contacting me directly. Original 5x7" and 8x10" platinum/palladium prints (mounted in acid-free mattes) range in price from $150 to $300. Large, unmatted archival-quality pigment inkjet prints of any of the images you see on this site can be custom ordered in a range of sizes—contact me for pricing.
