A retired political science professor, I have been photographing for more than 50 years. I make pictures across a broad variety of subjects, focusing on subjects with a strong graphic element. I have taught photography and darkroom processes at Knox College and one-on-one. Both film and digital are used.

What do I look for? This varies from situation to situation. It might be the mood; it can be a strong graphic element or an odd or humorous juxtaposition; it may simply be strong colors, or their absence. In short, like most photographers not on assignment, the real question is, “what interests me at the moment, and can an interesting picture be made from this?” I hope you find the images pleasing. If not, so be it. However, please do not ask me to draw parallels, plumb depths or find inner meanings. I leave such tasks to others.

I have won those few contests I have entered, such as the KINSA (Kodak International Snapshot Award) and several local contests. My photos have been featured at The Arts Guild Auction, in Denton, Texas.
