Short Bio

In the early 1980’s I studied drawing and painting at The San Francisco Art Institute. I became a plein air painter after moving to the Mendocino Coast in 1987. What I’ve learned from those 20+ years of painting and drawing I’m now attempting to convey through my photographs and filmmaking.

Photography wakes me to the essence

of each moment where I find beauty and meaning in a world so full of  constant change.

The following pages are a visual journal of my life behind the camera.

The contemplation of things as they are
without error or confusion
without substitution or imposture
is in itself a nobler thing
than a whole harvest of invention.
