Artist Statement (last revised November 15, 2011):

My subject matter is outdoor landscapes, natural and urban, in both color and black and white. Sometimes I experiment with other subjects (artifacts and architecture), and digital manipulation of images.

There is no particular story line to my work. I am trying to communicate the peace and solace of being outdoors, through visualizing images that occur to me while outdoors.

I am mostly self-taught as a photographer. Previously I studied medical science, classical piano, and worked as a software engineer. My work is oriented to "seeing" effective abstract compositions, and communicating these compositions through precise technical control.

All work had been using 35mm film using a NIKON 6006 and NIKON lenses (with a tripod most of the time). On April 6, 2010 I purchased my first digital SLR, a NIKON D700 (which uses the same lenses as my old film SLR).

Images are printed on paper archival to at least 100 years. I prefer Epson velvet fine art paper or Epson premium luster paper.
