Welcome to my home page. --
I've been taking pictures since 1975 and in 1982, I decided black and white photography was my true calling.
I use the zone method for exposure and process

classic cars, steam engines, and motorcycles. Living in the Detroit area, I have spent
a lot of time at the Henry Ford museum and Greenfield village in Dearborn MI
photographing the historical buildings and industrial artifacts. I also have an extensive
portfolio of classic car images and I recently started
photographing motorcycles.

convey to the viewer an appreciation of their beauty and our fascination with anything mechanical.
