The Work

These photographs represent more than twenty-five years of exploring the swamps, creeks, prairies, coastlines, and wilderness of Florida, along with selected landscapes from across the American landscape.

Working with large format film cameras, I seek those rare moments when light, atmosphere, and landscape come together to reveal the quiet character of a place. Each image has been carefully selected from thousands of negatives and is personally printed by hand as a silver gelatin photograph in my darkroom.

Rather than presenting a complete archive of my photography, this collection represents the body of work that best expresses my vision as a photographer and darkroom printmaker.



Everglades

The Everglades, is a vast wetland ecosystem spanning over 2.5 million acres in southern Florida, it is a haven for diverse flora and fauna. Famously named the "river of grass," by Marjory Stonemason Douglas, the Everglades is characterized by a slow, southward flow of water from Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf of Mexico, nurturing a tapestry of sawgrass prairies, mangrove forests, and hardwood hammocks...

The Florida Gallery

Florida is a state that is known for its beautiful beaches, but there is much more to the state than just sand and surf. The Everglades, lakes, swamps, and prairies of Florida are the real secret to this state's natural beauty.

Florida Cattle Lands

Florida's cattle land, when most people think of Florida, they think of beaches, golf courses, and Disney. There is so much more to this state. Drive through the center of the state and you will go back in time to the Real Florida. Like a Land Remembered, Cattle, Palms and Prairies wait for you.
