I have been photographing since the age of ten when my father bought me my first camera, an Olympus-Pen (EE-2). I was captivated. Basically self-taught, over the years I have explored many forms of photography from nineteenth century historic processes to digital printing. My focus is to create a painterly effect in my photographs using color and light in unusual ways.
At present my setup is a digital desktop system using fine art watercolor paper and premium luster papers coated to receive pigmented inks from an Epson printer; creating long-lasting photographic prints. Currently, I am working on a series called Intimate Cambridge©; photographing what is familiar but at the same time finding the unexpected in the city of Cambridge. I am thrilled one of my images, “McMath Park January 2008”, was featured in last year’s (2009) Cambridge Resident Brochure.
Encouraged by friends, and neighbors to exhibit my work, I joined North Cambridge Arts Association (NoCa) and have participated in their Open Studios. Please browse my website for more images and examples of my latest work as well as current and past exhibits.
