Drawings

The drawings are done with standard pencils, rated 2H through 9B. Some are drawn with color pencils and some with just the white pencil on black paper. I also have a few charcoal drawings. Originals are for sale as well as limited edition reproductions.

I won't be doing anymore new drawings for a while, I'm spending any spare time I can find on photography.

Photographs

Most of the photographs were taken with traditional large and medium format film cameras loaded with black and white film.

I use various cameras and reducing backs to fit  4x5, 5x7, & 8x10 negatives, while the medium format (120 film) is usually 6 cm. x 6 cm. (2-1/4 square);  6x9 is also an option. Check out my CAMERA PAGE

Developing my own film, I  then scan the  negative and print the final image digitally on an archival printer with archival papers.

NEW. I am working on a technique to process my negatives (and an ever increasing number of digital camera photographs) in HDR. That's High Dynamic Range. By using three different scans of the same negative, I prepare one with shadow details, one normal, and the third with highlight details. Then, using an HDR program, combine the three into one image that contains the entire tonal range. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't, but when its right, I'm excited with the results. Some of my HDR images are on the Photo 1 page.
