For as long as I can remember my eye has been searching out compositions. I have been recording these compositions on film for forty years and even after all that time photography still has that magical quality that keeps me working. I work with four sizes of film, 120 roll film and sheet film in 4x5, 5 x 7 and 8 x 10, but most of my exposures are made with  the 5 x 7 and the 8 x 10 cameras so that I can contact print if possible. Contact print edge imprints are trimmed, so 5 x 7 contact will be about 4.5 by 6.5  and 8 x 10 will be about 7.5 by 9.5. I do all the developing, printing on silver gelatin paper, mounting, framing etc. myself. All prints are processed, printed and framed to archival standards and are signed and numbered on the mount.
