"So what am I doing with the classic view cameras?...Well, I like to reduce the subject materials to their simplest form. Also, I like to expand how we see abstraction in photographs."
"More to the point, I take pictures with 4"x5" and 8"x10" view cameras, lots and lots of pictures. By the current paradigm, I make quite small b/w prints from 4"x5" and 8"x10"; contact prints up to 11"x14" enlargements. I believe that small prints have a lot of aesthetic presence, rather than the histrionic presence of large prints."
"I've lived in Kitchener since 1965, and shortly fell in love with the lush southern Ontario landscape. My photographs are taken in all seasons, but I have a special interest in winter photography. My teachers and mentors Howard Bond, Stuart Nudelman, and Norman Rothschild have given me a lot of coaching, for which I am very grateful. Although photography is a medium based on technology, the important part of my background are the people.The arts community in Waterloo Region is a growing and vital one. My fellow photographers are not my competition; I see us as all being in this together. "
