Photographs & Stories

Below are links to a few of my favorite photos and their stories.  I think they are "good photographs."  I call myself a "Hybrid Photo Hobbyist" to separate myself from the hoard of people calling themselves Photographers. 

I've been serious about photography since 1985.  I studied under three exacting Army Combat Photographers who taught me in Black and White.  I still prefer it.

I'm a purist.  Too many adjustments or additions to an image make it graphic art and not photography.  I like my monochrome images cold and my color shots natural.  Whoever told wedding photographers that low saturation is artistic should be whipped.  Seriously, people, make it stop!

I use a Nikon D850 for Digital.  For Film, I use a Mamiya 6 for 120mm and a Canon A-1 for 35mm.
