All the image on this site have been taken using black and white film, and all the prints have been made in a traditional darkroom.

I make photographs this way because I can better express my artistic vision with film and darkroom prints. For me, there is far more craftsmanship involved in producing a photograph the traditional way. Because 2 hours in the darkroom is far more pleasurable than 2 minutes at the computer.

Why do great guitar players "stick to" 50 year old Strats and tube amps?
Why does Elmore Leonard still write his books with a pen on yellow legal pads?

I like doing analog photography better than digital photography, but I think it is silly to argue that digital photography is not photography. It is a different medium just as oil painting is different from watercolors, it is still all photography.


For information regarding any aspect of my photography ie: monochrome and lith printing, film and paper development, toning techniques, and print sales.
