Artist’s Statement – Biography

I think of myself as a writer/photographer. For me, the two are inextricably entwined. When I photograph a subject, it is nearly always with an eye to complementing the written word; for a book or article already in progress or yet to be determined. Often my photographs help me to form the words, while the words I have in mind sometimes suggest the image I need to make. I also sell photographs separately to magazines and as fine art.  I particularly enjoy the art images, as they give me an opportunity to experiment and develop my vision in the digital dark room.
