I've Never Seen A Surface

I Support Any Procedure That Allows Photographers To Express Themselves, Whether That Involves Color, Black And White, Platinum, Palladium And Digital Technology.

For Me The Printing Process Is Part Of The Magic Of Photography. It's That Magic That Can Be Exciting, Disappointing, Rewarding And Frustrating All In The Same Few Moments In The Darkroom.

There Is A Considerable Amount Of Manipulation In The Printmaking From The Straight Photograph To The Finished Print. If I Do My Job Correctly That Shouldn't Be Visible At All, It Should Be Transparent.

Many Photographers Are Consumed With The Idea Of Making Beautiful Contact Sheets. I Am Far More Interested In Making The Best Final Print I Can.

So When I Became Interested In Photography And Further Being Inspired By The Work That I Saw Of Ansel And Others, It Was A Natural Extension To Go Back To These Places That I Knew As A Kid And Explore Them With My Camera.
