When I was a child, I opened the back of my first camera and exposed all of the film. That unforgiving experience made me look upon equipment as something to avoid, overcome, put up with, and then finally befriend. Since that first learning experience, my photographic works have been the result of an interior journey. Starting seriously in the seventies as I also worked in technical and graphic arts but greatly influenced by the sixties, honed in the eighties when I studied under Louis Bernal and Harold Jones in Tucson. In the nineties I worked as a research scientist with the Agricultural Research Service but continued doing artistic photography till devoting myself full time to my artistic endeavors in the 21st century. I have always wanted my work to be more than just recording the visible. I hope my images make visible a little of myself and the interior journey I have been on.
