"After my life partner and soul mate was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, changes in my outlook on life occurred. One change, I was looking through a different set of eyes. With this new appreciation of my surroundings, I started to capture these views through the photographic medium. Through experimentation, I found myself developing a photographic eye and my own artistic style. To bring an unique feeling/style to my photographs, I look at changing environmental conditions (weather, tides, clouds, etc.); shadows; time of the day that I shoot; the angle of the shot; and elements of activity. I describe this as the scene speaks to me.

My landscape photographs now include a broad range of subjects from maritime views, seascapes, roads, skies and urban. In addition to landscape photography, my portfolio includes floral studies, still life, industrial works and the ‘Mystery Girl’ series.

I use a medium format Mamiya camera and photograph with a fine grain black & white negative film. In the darkroom, I can spend many hours to bring out the feeling and essence of what I viewed in the field. Using dodging and burning techniques, I hand print each photograph using black & white chemistry on a museum quality fiber base paper".
