My black and white photographs are studies in the subtle play of light as it moves across the surface of deserts, mountains, canyons and wilderness areas. Through the making of these images, I examine the textures and patterns which exist in nature, sometimes revealed in the low light of deep canyons, the coarse grain of ancient, long-dead trees, or the smooth rock on the shores of remote northern lakes. The art and architecture of prehistoric Native Americans are also the themes of many of my studies. Recently, I have also turned my lens toward the relics of more recent times: The "Desert Ghosts" series portrays ghost towns and historic artifacts, preserved by the clean, dry environment of desert regions.
