This photogarpher's documentary-style photography is influenced by Friedlander, William Gedney, Eggleston, Tina Barney and Winogrand. All prints are chromagenic and hand processed by the artist. Prints are made, in a darkroom, from film negatives, taken with a succession of hand held cameras, mostly a Leica M3 or a Nikon F. None of this work is made digitally.
