I began my photographic life as a black and white photographer, spending hours in the traditional photographic print lab creating images from black and white film and working with alternative photographic processes. Photography is always the source— the seed of my ideas. I love capturing detail, and expressing movement, using
traditional, digital, and alternative processes. With a background in art, I tend to look for shapes, lines and patterns. I search for the play of light and shadow in color, black and white, as well as infrared.
Infrared is one of the alternative processes that always intrigued me. Infrared film’s reaction to heat created images with a contrast and glow, changing from image to image. Kodak discontinued its infrared film years ago, but digital infrared cameras use a sensor which measures heat, just as the old infrared film did. And the images~ the contrast, radiating glow, and altered tones based on the heat emanating from the subjects, are both sensual and surreal.
I have been experimenting with printing my photographs on different substrates, from brushed aluminum to metallic papers depending on each image.
Along with being a photographer, I teach
Digital Arts and Photography, at the high school and college level. "The students help keep me energized and keeps me on top of my game!"
