My passion

Beginning in my youth, I have had an interest in photography. From the family Kodak Instamatic camera to my newest digital camera; I have always enjoyed taking pictures. I was inspired by my brother and began truly learning by using his Pentax K-1000. Later my passion grew during my study of photography at Washtenaw Community College. There, I quickly fell in love with the darkroom and the studio. 

The photographic process brings me much joy. It begins with deliberate choices of film type and format or digital, composing the image through the lens, and making decisions of exposure and depth of field. Later developing the negative and experiencing the darkroom magic of the print coming alive satisfies me.

Multiple formats are utilized in my photography. My work is in digital and analog photography. My preferred analog format is Medium Format; I also shoot in 35mm and Large format..
