I have been an avid photography and darkroom enthusiast for close to 25 years. Starting out by making black and white prints from old negatives shot by my Father and others, I eventually inherited an elderly 4x5 Speed Graphic camera and began making copy negatives from old black and white prints. I found I was able to make some extra money by making dupe prints from these negatives. People appreciated the fairly high quality I was able to get by working from a large format negative, as opposed to the more common 35mm size negative.

But after a few years of this, I began to grow tired of printing images shot by other people. I found myself looking at many of the copy prints I was making and considering how I might have photographed the scene differently. So, about 10 years ago, I gradually stopped the copy work and began making large format black and white photographs for myself.

All the images on this site have been made since that change in my "photo-priorities". I hope you like them! Your comments are welcome - e-mail me at
