Photography

Since childhood I have been interested in how light and shadow interact and how they can be captured on film. Sometimes it manifests itself in the dramatic—such as hanging from the bowsprit of the Clearwater—or the simple. Black-and-white photography is a very different creature from color. I do both, but color can be too real and therefore solely representational; black-and-white lends itself to seeing form rather than function—and that without creating something that isn't there. The very depiction of reality makes it abstract.
