not painting with light, it is an art but it's not photography - That's what I do - And it is.....well.....better.

Printing is the critical process which enables my visions to come alive for you. I utilize a specialist in hand printing services with over 20 years experience. All color photographs are printed as Deluxe Gloss Cibachrome Prints. (Black & White are printed as Exhibition Fiber Prints). Cibachrome printing provides the best possible sharpness and color rendition. The stability and longevity of Cibachrome prints are legendary!

Prints are available in both traditional and full frame sizes. I highly recommend going with a full frame as it maintains the films natural 3:2 aspect ratio to include the whole image as you see them displayed in this portfolio, whereas traditional sizes require some cropping of the image.

All photographic prints are sensitive to dust, moisture, and finger prints. The only way to truly protect them is with a quality frame. In order to offer additional protection for your new print, I would be pleased to have it framed for you at a reasonable cost if you will provide your framing preferences. Upon arrival at your home you will have a magnificent print framed and ready to display.

The great challenge of underwater photography is not only to capture the beauty of a place but portray the essence of life there and all the feelings it may elicit in the moment. In 1999 I became a certified diver and immediately attained a specialty in underwater photography. I continually work toward expanding my knowledge and ability in an effort to perfect the vision I wish to bring to you. Some of the best results I've had were on dives where I just sat in one place and watched as the whole marine environment unfolded before me and watch the light dance through the water. It was magical and it inspired me to share the magic with you. I believe that great photos are 90% photographer and 10% equipment..... therefore, the gear that I have chosen to use is equipment that's not necessarily top of the line but is easy for me to use when diving. I shoot with a Sea & Sea mx-10 and hand hold the ys-40 strobe. All the Color Prints are on Fuji 100 Sensia slide film and the Black & White Prints are on either Kodak Plus-X 125 or AGFA Scala 200. None of the images were shot in digital format nor have they been digitally enhanced. Don't get me wrong.....digital imaging can be a fun thing. Photoshop, it's clever curves and cloning, it will always retrieve the image, correct your mistakes...but somehow pixels, bytes, numbers really...they're
