After more than 50 years as a Bay Area cinematographer,  I pivoted a while back to fine art photography. Now, at the age of 88, I continue to pursue this passion from our home in Amador City.

Most of my Images start out as a group of photographs that I’ve taken. I reassemble them into a new, single whole.  Some of these catch views and objects we frequently take for granted. Some simultaneously compress and expand time. Chance plays a large role.Several different labs print the final digital master to metal, or to paper, or to canvas.

Life is full of conflicting strands. My Images are a way to co-here a few of them.
