My images are often about memory, the passage of time, and the interaction between humankind and nature. I often photograph my subjects in the subdued light of overcast days, or at dusk or dawn. Such conditions encourage the use of prolonged exposures, thus capturing a glimpse of time’s passage. It is my hope these images not only reveal a sense of nature’s grace, but that they capture the delicate interplay between subject, environment and quality of light.Technical InformationMy primary cameras are a Hasselbad 203fe and a Sinar view camera. I photograph my images on black and white film, which I develop by hand. Negatives are then scanned and printed on archival papers using ultrachrome pigment inks. Finally, finished prints are mounted using achival methods on Artcare boards.
