| Information | I am a native San Franciscan (now living in Marin County, CA) and self taught photographer who uses a variety of techniques-- including long exposure, infrared and intentional camera movement-- to express my unending wonder of the fundamental fact of existence. I earned both my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in English Literature from San Francisco State University and bring a deep appreciation of poetry to my explorations of place (especially the sea). Poets such as George Oppen, James Schuyler, Seamus Heaney, Lorine Niedecker, Elizabeth Bishop, William Wordsworth, Robert Frost, and George Mackay Brown have played a fundamental role in shaping my attention to the things and places that I photograph. Often returning to the same locations many times, I seek to explore the silence and the sublimity of those places.
In addition to poetry, I am profoundly influenced by the paintings of Edward Hopper, Mark Rothko, Caspar David Friedrich, and Camille Pissarro and the photography of Michael Kenna, David Burdeny, and Edward Weston.
I make my living teaching English Composition at City College of San Francisco. | |
