Artist Studios #1
These art materials - brushes, easels, tubes of paint, scribbles on a
pad, old palettes with dried bits of paint - become art in their own
right. The images were shot with a medium format camera onto
tranparency film, with only available light. They are printed as
large scale giclees, a process that involves printing on high quality
watercolor paper rather than traditional glossy photographic paper.
It has revolutionized my color work, enabling me to pursue a much more
painterly style in my photographs.

Seascapes #1
These images are of the places where the land meets the sea and the sea
meets the sky. In my photographs I am looking not so much for the elements
themselves but for their essence. To be too literal would take away all of
the magic, and the depth of feeling. This magic began for me when I was a
summer kid, and my love for this place has only deepened with time.
The emotions surrounding this island have always been very powerful
and real for me. My images are about those emotions.

Seascapes #2
I have chosen a very formalist, minimalist, deliberate way of composing the
images. To me, the square format provides balance and symmetry, further
enhanced by the deliberate placement of the horizon dead center in nearly
all of the photos. The framed prints are intended to be hung side by side,
thus implying a continuous horizon line that runs throughout the grouping of
images. While a single image can certainly hang on a wall all by itself, a
synergy occurs when three or more images are displayed together.
