• Biography
  My photographic journey began over 40 years ago as a teenager learning the fundamentals of the craft in the darkroom and with large plate cameras. This early interest was matched by my passion for technology and entrepreneurship which has led me on path of discovery and exploration in countries and cultures throughout the world. Having lived and worked on four continents, I now reside in the USA and combine extensive global travel with a passion for Fine Art photography."I try to distill an image down to its uncluttered form, which is why I favor B+W where less is more"
