Immersive panoramic multi-panel photography
I work with a large format camera and film.
My photographs are made to be printed large with exquisite detail. They are perfectly suited for Corporate Art, Healthcare, Art in Public Places, and other expansive installation venues.
Subtle and powerful, my images project iconic imagery with natural grace inviting the viewer in.
In my spare time
I am with my family on Cape Cod when I am not making photographs. My wife and two young boys bring joy and balance to my life. We go on adventures. We stay at home. We have too many interests and passions, and we try to do it all!
“Most art is either entertainment or propaganda. Neither type of art is based on the truth. True art inspires the heart to remember its journey and offers a map for the perplexed soul.” E.F. Schumacher
What’s up with the spaces?
Each panoramic photograph is composed of multiple sheets of film that I expose sequentially as I rotate the camera on a leveled tripod.
The vertical spaces, or gaps, you see in my images represent the boundaries of adjacent sheets of film. They are intentional, yet, over time, their meaning has evolved.
At first, I showed finished work as contact prints, with the sheets of film lined up edge-to-edge. My ability to be precise approached perfection, and I began to understand that I was showing people how good I was. An act of pure ego.
Eventually, I began scanning film, and suddenly, it was not at all easy to show film edges anymore. I decided to let go of the need to demonstrate my precision. The spaces began to represent something else, the dismissal of the ego.
Now, I see the spaces for what they have always been. Liminal space. It is within these spaces that I have transformed as an artist, and it is within these spaces that I communicate to the viewer that they are a part of the process. For, each viewer will intuitively fill the spaces with their own generative background, if you will, to make the image whole.
