Working and playing with cameras has brought me life-long pleasure. Using photography, I communicate ideas, preserve memories, explore the known and unknown.

I have a background in art and math/science. I work as a photographic artist and as a commercial photographer.I began in photography with film and my transition to digital happened in early 2000s. The cameras that I use (including 35mm, medium format and 4×5) are a blend of both technologies. I have always processed and printed my own work.

Current subject matter includes studio still lives in the manner of Netherlandish-style painting and macro botanical portraits of flowers, also in the studio. On walks I look for trees that I wish to spend time with and document. Other portfolios I have created include studies of waves and a collection of grain elevators from Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. My studio reflects a running battle against clutter/collections, photography/art books, paraphernalia/tools to create images. My inspirations are many. Come visit.
