Contemporary Photographer
Contemporary Modern Art heavily influences my work. I’m constantly going to museums to experience and be inspired by new artwork. New techniques and strong concepts make a powerful impression on me as I create my own work. I’m always searching for subject matter and ideas that will inspire me to create new photo projects.
My latest project is scanning old negatives of concerts from the 1970's. I'm getting them printed on metal substrate. I hope to share these with folks who attended the events. See the pricing link if you are interested in purchasing any of them.
Bio
I grew up in Winston-Salem NC, and as a boy I was passionate about photography. My first pictures were taken with a Big Swinger Polaroid camera when I was 12 years old. I've been taking pictures for 50 years, and although the technology has changed, my passion for photography is stronger than ever.
I earned my degree from Western Carolina University (WCU) in Graphic Design. While at WCU, I took pictures for the school newspaper, and explored the area with my girlfriend, who is now my wife. We went on many hikes through the Great Smoky Mountains where I photographed the changing seasons and waterfalls, focusing on textures, patterns, and the ever changing color of the leaves. My cameras have changed over the years, and the technology is quite different, but my love of creating abstract work remains. I'm forever in search of lighting that creates warm and dimensional photographs.
