Film

Studied under Steve Roberts and John J Weiss at the University of Delaware. John educated us to know the masters as well as technique. Minor White Ralph Gibson Emmet Gowan Weston Arbus Brassai Steichen Strand Abbott Uelsmann Callahan and Atget provided inspiration.

Being a pretentious ass I dismissed color and classic landscapes. Color was too much about color and landscapes felt trivial until I paid attention to Misrach, Meyerowitz and Eggleston; Adams and Watkins.

The darkroom was fun. Images span 1974 - 1988. Films used were primarily Kodak Plus-X and Kodak 4143 large format infrared printed on Portriga.  

I’ve a tic I enjoy. When I walk into an exhibit of black and white images by a master, I smell fixer.
