#photograpy

I enjoy photographing architecture, nature, and people, including fine art nudes. I love taking pictures in urban environments as well, especially old buildings and dilapidated industrial scenes. Shooting street scenes and candid people photos are also among my favorites. My eye is more drawn toward subjects that are darker and grittier, rather than traditionally beautiful and colorful imagery. Much of my work tends to be more abstract.

For many years I had my own darkroom and worked exclusively with black and white film. Even for nature photography, I find black and white to be the ideal medium. One can never capture nature as the eye sees it anyway, and black and white is an abstraction of reality by default. Now that I have switched to digital photography, I do color photography more than in the past but I still enjoy black and white.
