In the beginning, it is all about the light; in the end, it is all about the print. I am an artist that works with light. Photography captures light in a way that I can print it. George Eastman said, “Light makes photography … know light … and you will know the key to photography.” I photograph by available light; natural or artificial, as this is the light we live by. I am as much a printmaker as a photographer. Ansel Adams said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” I make my own original prints with current technology and traditional techniques. I compose tightly in the viewfinder and I print full frame. You see what I saw in the viewfinder. Adams also said, “To visualize an image …is to see clearly in the mind prior to exposure, a continuous projection from composing the image through the final print.” In the beginning, it is all about the light; in the end, it is all about the print.
