I first discovered the southwest about 5 years ago on a family trip to visit the Grand Circle including the Grand Canyon, Arches, Bryce, and Zion. Needless to say, I was immediately in love with what I saw. I've since done my best over the years to leave my Michigan home and get out to the Colorado Plateau as often as possible. I currently reside in Cedar City, UT, a wonderful base for photographic exploration of the desert southwest. I first started photography using the 35mm format, but after a trip with a large format shooter, I was hooked. I've been shooting in 4x5 format for over a year now and there's no turning back! Large format cameras offer unsurpassed quality with a large film area, and the abitlity with the use of movements to obtain maximum focus and depth of field.
Every image is first professionally scanned for maximum resolution and color rendition. After scanning, each image is digitally edited to produce the best print possible. All images on this site are available for purchasing. Most images are available in the following sizes: 11x14 16x20 20x24 24x30 and 30x40. Please contact for questions about pricing, matting, framing, and purchasing options. Panoramic and odd sized image pricing is available upon request.
Most of my images are printed on Fuji Crystal Archive paper using a state of the art LightJet Printer. The LightJet printer by OCE is the ultimate photographic printer. Using red, green, and blue lasers, the LightJet offers sharpness, image control and fidelity never before obtainable via traditional printing methods. It creates a true continuos tone print which is accepted as the standard for "fine art" archival photographic gallery prints. Some of my images may make better prints using other printing methods such as cibachrome or possibly inkjet printers. I am currently researching and testing other printing methods to continuously create the best print possible for every image. All images have the option of being printed on FujiFlex paper. Fujiflex has a look simlar to Cibachrome with its high color saturation and super glossy finish. Each mounted print is permenantly mounted on an archival foam core board, and has the option of being mounted on Di-bond which is 2 sheets of aluminum bonded to a PVC core. Open edition sizes do not have a limit on number of prints sold. Limited edition sizes are restricted to editions of 25 prints per image. After 25 prints are sold of any size larger than 16x20, the print price then goes up for the next edition of 25 prints of that particular image and so on. Due to the low volume of sales I'm currently enjoying (sarcastic smile), I am not currently offering full framing options. At some point in the near future, I hope to once again offer complete framed pieces.
