I’ve been viewing the world through a camera for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with Kodak instamatic, Konica range-finder, and Minolta and Nikon SLR film cameras, and switched to digital about 20 years ago, when full-frame (FX format) digital SLRs first became available. I now use Nikon digital SLR (D3 and Df) and mirrorless cameras (Z8) because they can accommodate all of the lenses that I acquired when I was still using film. Their optical quality is excellent, and I don’t mind manual focusing. I also work with hyper/multi-spectral imagery; my Df and Z8 cameras have been “converted” to full-spectrum cameras and by using different filters, specific spectra can be captured by the digital sensors.
Some of my photographs are in private collections, and many others have appeared on the covers of scientific journals (Ambio, American Journal of Botany, Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Ecology, iScience, Northeastern Naturalist, and Wetlands Ecology & Management), in the pages of magazines including Wings and Northern Woodlands, throughout A Field Guide to the Ants of New England, and in several ecology and biology textbooks.
My first exhibition of photographs was at the Phinehas S. Newton Library in Royalston, Massachusetts in October, 2012. My photographs are now exhibited in solo and juried group shows around the world.
In the summer of 2016, Sybil Gotsch and I co-organized a photography workshop and retreat in Costa Rica. You can explore some of the products of this workshop here.
In the fall of 2016, I spent two months in China. Photographs from my time there are here.
Since 2020, I’ve also been collaborating with Eric Zeigler on various photography projects. Our work is regularly exhibited in “solo” (collaborative) and juried group shows around the world, and we are currently working on a photobook based on our DoubleTake project. A first, hand-made version of this photobook is included in the juried 14th Annual Photobook Exhibition at the Griffin Museum of Photography.
