Bio
I am a San Francisco photographer working primarily in photocollage, focusing on nature, architecture, portraiture and social activity. My work is held in private collections in the United States and abroad, and in the Oakland Museum of Art.
I started serious fine-art photography 20 years ago after a career in academia and a lifetime of casual picture taking. I am essentially self-taught. I carry a camera everywhere and photograph whatever catches my eye. Light, color and character are decisive. I have created a large body of work, much of which I have exhibited in the San Francisco Bay Area, in British Columbia and on the Big Island of Hawaii. As a method, my photocollage occasionally transcends static photography, falling somewhere between pictures and motion pictures. It is hand-made from multiple images shot consecutively with a 35-millimeter camera. The photographs from which I depict people and social activity are usually candid and taken in motion. My goal is to capture the essence of subjects and mount their images in meaningful, mobile and magical ways. I accept commissions.
PLEASE NOTE: Although my body of work is photographed and printed in color, I have also included a variety of converted black and white images. Color prints of these images are available for purchase. In addition, because all the prints have been digitally copied, the colors may not be completely accurate. Please feel free to inquire about any specific images.
