I was born - along with my twin brother - on the eastern seaboard of the US in the early years of the 1950’s. I left home for college as a teenager and was quickly radicalized by the events surrounding the war in Vietnam. In truth, the joys of belonging to a common cause were exhilarating and profound. Unfortunately these feelings were not to last.

The war’s denouement left me dissatisfied with the American way of life. Consequently I abandoned traditional pursuits and traveled to Alaska. For the next eighteen years I worked as an itinerant fisherman, following the seasons from the Gulf of Alaska to the Bering Sea and back. Juneau, Sitka, Homer, Anchorage, Kodiak and Dutch Harbor were significant ports of call.

But needless to say, the fishing lifestyle has its drawbacks. The transient way of life, the death of associates, drug abuse, it all conspired to convince me that this phase of my life was over.

I returned to Seattle and enrolled at the Art Institute of Seattle. Vowing never to kill again I embarked on a new career as a photographer. Since then I have visited Central, South and SE Asia extensively.

Traveling by bus, ferry, ox-cart and foot my partner and I have sought out the most beautiful locations in the world. Some locations need do be visited again and again - Angkor Wat being one of them - to be seen in a different light. Others are high in the mountains, across passes accessible only in the summer. In truth, we move between monsoon and snow.

All of the photographs in this website were shot on film with a variety of medium format cameras. Depending on the client I either scan the negative with a Nikon 9000, correct it in Photoshop, and then print on an Epson 7600, or else I directly print an archival C print to matte paper.

Regardless of the medium, all photographs are in a run of 50 and are stunning.
