I am an amateur photographer and was born in Bakersfield, CA in 1948. I was inspired by Edward Weston's "Daybooks" which I read while a student at the University of Notre Dame from 1966-1970. The photos on this website were taken with a Nikon D2x, but I spent years with an 8x10 view camera in Ireland and a Hasselblad, working with contact prints in a darkroom.
