I received my bachelor's in photojournalism from the University of Texas, Austin, in 1990. After graduation, I attended two weeks at the Maine Photographic Workshops, where I picked up a Holga camera that remained my primary camera until 2017.

​

In 2018, after 30 years in Austin, I moved to the small, remote, quiet town of Alpine, in the far western part of Texas that borders Northern Mexico. I had started to lag in my excitement about photography while in Austin, but with the move came an intense desire to pick it up again... and to ditch the Holga. I bought a Pentax 67, and off I went- using it to shoot the beautiful landscape around me, the people, events, and the vibe of small-town Texas. 

​

And then.

The pandemic. 

To make a long story short, in 2020 I discovered that I had a pinhole camera tucked away in a box- a camera I never thought to look at very carefully until I was desperate to find something to play with in my sequestered life alone through most of 2020. Starting with pinhole self-portraits and ghostly images of myself in places I had explored and loved in my pre-pandemic life, I became interested in exploring other formats, which led to what many film shooters become: a vintage camera collector.

​

As the country opened up slowly, my collection grew. I made a page where you can explore the cameras I use - because film photographers like showing off their cameras!

​

My current work is a mixture of the ongoing project of self-portraits in panoramic landscapes, Polaroid work, cyanotypes, juggling different formats, and exploring alternative photography, and even a return to shooting Holga!

I have a traditional wet darkroom in my house where I develop my film and print on fiber-based paper. To read an article I wrote for Ilford on my darkroom work- please visit Ilford.com!
