I've been into photography since the early '70s. I lived west of Boone, NC, in the North Carolina it mountains at that time and being surrounded by all that beauty caused me to want to try to capture it on film.

My personal work is of a documentary style. As the rural and urban South change, I feel more compelled to capture what's left of the South that I knew growing up.

I've also collected cameras like I've collected old radios. At one time or another I've had Leicas, Hasselblads, Rolleiflexes and many, many, more. I'll post some photos of some unusual ones in my collection.

One of my projects is to finish putting a real darkroom in my garage. That's a darkroom with it's own running water and it's own permanent space. I've grown tired of lugging an Omega D-2 around and want to put it up and leave it.
