Statement

My first inspiration in photography was Ansel Adams. It's why I started in black and white. That, and the fact that color development had such a steep learning curve. I became a fan of all the Group ƒ64.

Not long after college, my photography career was put on hold so I could co-own and manage Sharon Park Gallery in Menlo Park, CA.

I'm back at it and it seems like I never left. In fact, I think my eye is better and more mature. You can decide.

About the work? I can say this. The scenes are real.
