Bio

I am slowly growing my portfolio of stock images which is primarily rural. I am now also slowing moving into editorial work.

With a formal background in art and design, I entered the digital arena after many years of film photography which I did as an adjunct to my work as a graphic designer and typographer. Returning to Vermont in the late '80s placed me in the perfect setting for my visual interests. Our state was built by people who worked the land, learned to survive the winters, and became extremely independent. I live on land that's been in our family since 1867.

This puts me at the heart of some of the best landscape variety in the country. As you might expect, I concentrate on rural subjects--especially small family farms. I take many images of wood in all its forms. I'm also interested in machinery and transportation. I'm interested, too, in the texture of things. And, as with many "old" film photographers, still have a strong interest in black and white images.

My main fine art focus is creating images of a Vermont being lost, or in many cases, entirely abandoned. These are almost all black and white images, digitally manipulated to emphasize a strongly negative mood of loss.
