My body of work for the most part, is finding that special calm and simplicity among chaos. Before making a capture, I become still and connected with absolute presence with the famous quote by photographer Minor White in mind, "Be still with yourself, until the object of your attention affirms your presence."

In a sense, the capture is made when I feel permission is given back from nature itself which is a very powerful way of being. Hopefully the energy and connection within each image can be experienced by you as well.

All black and white images were captured on film and not digitally altered. Films I like to use are Fuji Across, Fuji Neopan, Konika Infrared, Kodak Infrared. Most images were taken on a medium format Bronica SQ-Ai 6cmx6cm system. Some were taken with a Holga 6cmx6cm camera, and very few were taken by a 35mm Cannon camera.

The film is processed in the darkroom by hand. Prints are 100% Archival and are sized at 16x16” or 10x10” for square format prints, and 16x20” for landscape prints. Prints are $650.  Shipping is available as well as local pickup in San Francsico.
