TECHNICAL HOW-TO's & WHY's : I always use film cameras & natural light only. The cameras themselves range from a 1940s large-format field view camera, a medium-format Hasselblad, and an 8x16" ultra-large format camera. I choose color or black & white film depending on what feeling I'm trying to convey. Photographs are printed by me in my traditional wet darkroom – boring process but I like the control and results. I feel more connection with the history of the old film cameras and darkroom. INSPIRATION: I try to show what is struggling in the noise of modern life - landscapes, old buildings, animals. BIO: I grew up on a farm in central Pennsylvania and moved to southern California after getting a degree in aerospace engineering. Unfortunately, that's also when I discovered I'd far rather be a photographer than a rocket scientist. I spent the next 6 years photographing while on (aerospace) assignments in New Mexico, and finally resigned to become a full-time photographer in 1992. In 1996 I returned to Pennsylvania, living now on an old farm in a valley surrounded by Amish neighbors.
