My first love professionally has always been photography, in all its forms. The portfolios here are the very best of my black and white photographic work from over sixty years. Most are large format Zone System images, previsualized (as seen here) before exposure. Click on an image to see that portfolio.
Fine archival silver halide prints available in limited editions.
I have created a series of 4 eBooks on traditional film photography.
The Film Photography Courses are 4 eBooks available through the Apple Bookstore. Based on the photography courses I taught over decades at a number of universities and colleges. These eBooks include simple, straight forward information on the basics of traditional photography, camera controls, darkroom techniques and includes:
1 - Basic Photography - camera controls, exposure, pinhole photography, film/print processing, presentation methods, 50 significant photographers. 21 pages
2 - Basic Lighting - artificial lighting, electronic flash, medium format cameras, photographic emulsions/chemicals, Infrared photography. A light box you can build. 22 pages
3 - The View Camera - its use, archival film/paper processing for maximum longevity, high contrast photography. An archival print washer you can build. 23 pages
Most significant are my step-by-step instructions for running the complex Zone System tests.
4 - How to Test for the Zone System - This 4th photography course is NOT a basic course, but rather is the complete, rarely known, intense methodology known as the Zone System method of photography presented in an easy to understand and follow form. 25 pages
