I'm a photographer based in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, though I grew up in New York City. Both places are somewhere in the work, if you look for them.

I've been making photographs for about twenty years, across a range of subjects that don't obviously belong together: people, streets, places, things. I shoot film and digital, in formats from 35mm to large format, depending on what the situation calls for. I retouch my own work, currently in the darkroom or Digikam, having moved away from the Adobe ecosystem some years ago in favor of tools that fit better with how I work and think about software.

By trade I write software. I'm drawn to systems, to how things are put together, and to the places where technical precision and human judgment meet. That sensibility probably shows up in the photography whether I intend it to or not.

I'm interested in nature, seriously interested, in the ecological and conservation sense, not just as scenery. I've spent a lot of time in forests, fields, and on water, enough to have a sense of what's being lost, and why that matters beyond aesthetics. The Poconos are not incidental to where I ended up. I believe most people are doing the best they can with what they have, that the structures we've built around ourselves make that harder than it needs to be, and that paying closer attention to the world, to other people, to other species, to what's actually in front of you, is both a moral act and a more interesting way to live. That's also, more or less, why I make photographs.

The work on this site represents about two decades edited down to what I think is worth showing. It doesn't fit a single genre and it doesn't try to.

I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies in summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair. J.R.R. Tolkien
