Black and white photography was my first love; from the process of learning to see the world in terms of tonality, contrast, and the importance of composition, to the magic of seeing the results revealed in the darkroom, the influence of my early years shooting 35mm black and white film continues to this day. Even though my work is primarily digital now, I still approach black and white processing with a selective hand. Each image is individually adjusted, and attention given to how the tonality affects the mood of the finished work. It continues to be a labor of love, and the images in this collection represent decades of photographic experience and exploration.

Aerial photographs of the earth below reveal the indelible passage of time. Some textures and formations have taken millennia to emerge through forces of nature, and some have been more recently caused by human activity; all speak to a landscape that does not soon forget its experiences. Beginning in childhood, I have always been fascinated with the stories told by the earth when viewed from above, and I have been fortunate to be raised in the world of general aviation; small planes, piloted by my father, provided many low-altitude opportunities to see both the larger landscape and the finer details. On commercial flights I will always choose a window seat. Aerial photography is particularly challenging, and I always strive to convey a balanced sense of both distance and intimacy through the careful composition of each scene.

Doors and windows are inherently magical - thresholds of possibility and often full of individual, unique character.

Up and away, the ephemeral ever-changing clouds moving across the sky can reflect many moods.

Detail and abstract images of classic and vintage automobiles; many of these are rare vehicles, racing at Laguna Seca or being shown at Car Week in Monterey, California

Water, light, and sometimes panes of glass, in combination can be akin to alchemy, and is always an enticing subject for the camera.

Macro and abstract details of flowers, capturing their intricate, delicate beauty in full bloom.

In photography, an angle of incidence can offer the opportunity to capture layers of light and reflected moments - these are some of my favourite such images from over the years.
