Here on my site you will find a wide variety of photographic images for you to browse. Most of these photographs were taken in Oregon. Some images will date back several years and will be from different states. I am now working with a 4×5 Linhof View Camera as well as a Pinhole Camera which also uses 4×5″ film.
I have been fascinated by the camera, the darkroom, and photographic processes since the age of eleven when I discovered my grandfather’s 1909 3A Folding Pocket Kodak Camera in a closet. After finding that intriguing camera, and discovering a Kodak darkroom kit at the local pharmacy, my journey into photography had begun. I have worked my way through cameras from the 3A folding pocket Kodak in 1962, to a Brownie in 1963, to 35mm SLR, 4×5” and 8×10” view cameras, and a 4×5” pinhole camera. Now I work with a Canon t8i DSLR, a 4×5 Linhof View Camera and a 4×5 Pinhole Camera. Lately I’ve added my iPhone because of its’ versatility and image quality. Images from the earlier cameras came from the chemical darkroom, and I used and explored many processes there. Today the darkroom is both digital and 4×5″ film, and prints are machine made, as well as being contact printed in cyanotype process..
